How can I help?

Make an impact and change lives!

You can make a difference in the lives of Dominican and Haitian families. Pray, raise support, sponsor, advocate or volunteer:these are just some of the ways you can help to alleviate poverty.

Join us in prayer.

Pray

Galatians 2:10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.

Don’t just give…INVEST. Your donation to Esperanza is truly an investment because it is a gift that keeps giving. Whether you choose to donate to just one entrepreneur or to fund a whole bank, your investment is recycled as the funds are continually re-loaned to more families each year.

Now that you have decided to INVEST…there are several options available

  1. Make a general, one-time online donation
  2. Set up recurring donations (every month, quarterly, yearly)
