Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. Although the Dominican Republic is known as a tourist destination with its beautiful beaches and mountains, Agape mission partners work on the frontlines of poverty, human trafficking, education, and sports ministry. More than a third of the Dominican Republic lives on less than $1.25 a day and over 20 percent of the country lives in extreme poverty. Most of the poverty in the Dominican Republic is concentrated in the rural areas. The rural poverty rate is about three times as high as the urban poverty rate.

In a world where resources are few and the infrastructure is sparse, Agape Flights’ timely deliveries of mail and supplies are vital to sustain missionary families and their ministries.
