Quarterly Report of the Community Foundation in Favor of Single Mothers and Unprotected Youth

Executive Summary:
During this quarter, the Community Foundation in Favor of Single Mothers and Unprotected Youth has carried out various activities in line with its mission to provide support and assistance to single mothers and unprotected youth in our community. Two of the main initiatives implemented included the delivery of food to 80 low-income families and the delivery of medicines to 45 elderly people. These activities have been essential to cover basic needs and improve the quality of life of vulnerable people in our area of influence.

I. Delivery of Food to Low-Income Families:
In response to the growing need for food support, the Foundation has actively collaborated with local organizations and donors to collect and distribute food to low-income families. During this quarter, nutritious food was delivered to a total of 80 families, ensuring that they have access to adequate food. In addition, links were established with local suppliers to ensure a continuous and sustainable distribution of food in the future.

II. Delivery of Medications to the Elderly:
The Foundation recognizes the importance of providing support to our seniors, who often face difficulties accessing the medicines they need. Through alliances with local pharmacies and collaborations with health professionals, essential medicines were delivered to 45 elderly people during this quarter. These deliveries helped ensure that the elderly received appropriate treatment and improved their quality of life, easing their financial burden and facilitating access to necessary medications.

III. Impact and Results:
The Foundation has managed to make a significant impact this quarter. Through the delivery of food to low-income families, a fundamental basic need has been met and the economic burden of these families has been alleviated. Similarly, the delivery of medicines to the elderly has improved their general well-being and has ensured that they receive the necessary treatment to maintain good health.

In addition to the activities mentioned, the Foundation has also been working on the identification of other needs and possible areas of intervention for future projects and programs.

MEMORIA DEL PROYECTO
APORTA (programa de donación participativa)
febrero-abril 2022

Con gran entusiasmo presentamos el informe trimestral correspondiente al funcionamiento de este proyecto, dentro de nuestra organización durante el periodo febrero-abril 2022. El documento se elabora en base a los resultados obtenidos en la ejecución de nuestra estrategia de intervención 2021 y como respuesta de rendición de cuentas y agradecimiento a los seres humanos y empresas que durante este tiempo se han solidarizado con esta iniciativa realizando aportes de cualquier tipo para que sigamos desarrollando la visión de este proyecto.

Durante este período hemos logrado avances significativos en el desarrollo de nuestro proyecto, especialmente en términos de infraestructura y donaciones.

1. DONACIÓN DE JUGUETES
Durante este período, al igual que en años anteriores, desarrollamos una serie de actividades solidarias enfocadas a los niños. Durante la misma, que se llevó a cabo en algunos sectores carenciados del distrito nacional, se donaron cientos de juguetes, los cuales fueron acompañados de breves talleres lúdicos, entrega de refrigerios y animación infantil.

Estas actividades se realizan gracias a la ayuda de donantes presenciales y de quienes hacen su aporte a través de GlobalGiving. Además de quienes realizan sus aportes en especie, donando juguetes nuevos y usados para la realización de esta labor.

2. DONACIONES PARA ANCIANOS.
Este año hemos centrado algunos esfuerzos en apoyar a una población que se encuentra especialmente necesitada. Los mayores.

There are many families whose budget is affected by the high cost of maintenance and comprehensive health of their older adults.

This is why we have carried out a day of collection and donation of medicines and essential materials for the elderly. Thus, seeking to support them as direct beneficiaries and reduce the economic impact of their health on family members.

Among the main items delivered are: medicines, pillows, walking sticks and adult diapers.

3. NEXT STEPS.

To continue our participatory donation program, we are promoting various charitable activities for which we count on your support and that of our entire community.

1. Mother's Day: We will celebrate Mother's Day in the Dominican Republic with a celebration event for them that will include private donations of beauty and household items, as well as raffles for appliances. At this time we are in the collection stage, so we appreciate any contribution from you.

2. Beginning of the school year: A new school year is approaching and, as is known, many parents do not have the resources to equip their children with everything they need at the beginning. Whereas, the Funcomas team will be developing a collection of various school supplies with the purpose of helping the most vulnerable families with the economic weight of the beginning of the school year.
If you are interested in supporting, we will be receiving backpacks, uniforms, colored pencils, educational shoes or any item that serves this cause.
