How can FOTOCAN better serve you, our valued donor and fellow supporter of NPH?
Dear FOTOCAN Supporter,

Please take a few moments to answer any or all of the following 1-3 questions. Your feedback is appreciated.

Thank you for your time and dedication to FOTOCAN’s mission (supporting disadvantaged children with food, shelter, education, health care, and love).

 

 

 

 

Take a Look at Our New Sponsorship Programs

 

 

Adopt-A-Nurse

These professionals work with the added stress of gunfire, kidnappings and failed government and infrastructure. The wild valuation of the local currency means they cannot rely on the purchasing power of their wages. Diesel fuel is required to be trucked through gang-controlled road checks to feed the electrical generators of the hospital. Water purification is required to avoid the spread of diseases. Some nights the staff will choose to sleep in the hospital rather than risk being kidnapped on the way home or on their return to work. Learn more about the program here.

Adopt-A-Classroom

Please consider supporting FOTOCAN’s Special Project for Education by adopting  a classroom with a $35, $50, $100 or other monthly donation. Your donations will directly impact the quality of education being provided to students living at NPH- Dominican Republic, as well as students living with their biological families in the surrounding bateys. Your classroom full of eager learners will receive gifts of school supplies, educational programs, multilingual books, and field trips, directly from you! Learn more about the program here.
