Rosaleda Reynoso: ‘Casita para la Vida’ aims to put an finish to vulgar vital conditions in a bad farming areas of a Dominican Republic. To do this, we are formulating suitable vital environments for a families affected, possibly by building new structures or by carrying out repairs. For example, we sell aged wooden walls and zinc sheets for new ones and reinstate sand floors with concrete screed. We also spin latrines into correct toilets that are connected to a H2O and sewerage systems.

The people vital in socially disadvantaged areas in a Dominican Republic don’t have a income or technical believe indispensable to reconstruct or say their homes themselves. Many households are run by singular mothers who have several children. Most women have no grave training and accept a really low, strange income, that means they can’t means to occupy an designer or engineer. But everybody has a right to decent vital conditions.
