Join us on December 1st for #GivingTuesday.
Usable water is a fundamental human need, especially in times of a pandemic. Sanitation stations, showers and clean toilets can help prevent the spread of viruses. 4North is committed to replacing and repairing electric water pumps throughout Southern Dominican Republic. This will give families a sense of security and also simplify their daily routine.

Today our small but impactful food distribution center was very busy. Not only did we connect with some great families in need, but we also purchased the food/goods from markets and colmados (small family businesses). This helps create a more sustainable income for the people of the Dominican Republic.

Stop signs, traffic lights and safety precautions

Stop signs, traffic lights and safety precautions do not exist in parts of the Dominican Republic. We have witnessed cars driving the wrong way on one way streets and parents holding their new born babies, with one hand, while driving a motorcycle. The one thing you will never witness is road rage. For some odd reason, this chaotic traffic works and works well. Photo: Tom, a 4North volunteer, navigating his way to the next assignment.

Coffee farmers are dedicated to their craft. It takes up to 5 years for a coffee bean to fully mature in the Dominican Republic. Next time you take a sip of coffee, think about the time, energy and passion that goes into each cup. #coffee #agriculture_global #dominicanrepublic
