Our literacy program serves housemaids in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. Housemaids often have their education interrupted in their elementary years. They are typically forced to quit school at a young age to support their family by working as domestic workers. Consequently they grow up never having learned how to read and write.
By serving these humble servants — “the least of these”, we can share the Good News of Jesus Christ as we teach them how to read words—including God’s Word.
