About Us

Fundación Futuro Lleno de Esperanza - a future filled with hope - is an faith-based NGO based in the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic. The foundation encompasses approximately 15 educational centers, 25 churches and a biblical seminary for Haitian pastors.

In October, 2011, we opened the doors of our educational center in Cienfuegos to 23 pre-school students. It was a humble opening - already well into the first semester of a school year - but one filled with hope. The land had been bought and a building built, painted and filled with desks, chairs and decorations. One day, this school would be full.
                                                       

Today, this preschool offers high quality, affordable education for nearly 70 children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience early childhood education. Our core project is to educate and facilitate education in our community - we strive to offer comprehensive professional development to teachers within Santiago, and also to the teachers in the foundation's schools.

In 2012, we began a community education plan - partnering with local institutions to offer community development in Cienfuegos and throughout the Cibao. This program varies according to the needs and desires of the participants and has taken the form of: prenatal health classes, parenting workshops, arts and crafts days, sports days, reproductive health education, dance workshops and more.

Our goal in the near future is to fortify the arts education offered in the preschool and to create programs that offer arts and technology education to the members of our greater community.
