Together For Wellness
Since 2007, Comunidad Connect has been listening to, partnering with and celebrating impact with communities in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
Our community of support grows in size and strength over time, evolving from individual bonds into networks that drive global impact. We are grounded in shared values, shaped from experience, and driven by urgency.
Listening intently to the diverse voices of the community helps us understand their needs and strengths; their priorities and aspirations. Only then can our work truly begin
Our relationships with local stakeholders create opportunities for collaboration, guided by shared values and goals. The more our network of support grows, so does our capacity to affect change. It all starts by showing up.
100% of your donation supports programming in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. You can direct your gift or allow us to invest your donation where the need is greatest.
How we listen
We listen with our ears, our eyes, and our hearts. By asking the right questions, we build trust. And when there is trust between people, everything is possible.
