Description:
Access to drinking water and energy is a primary concern of residents of Las Mercedes in the Dominican Republic, the majority of whom are Haitian migrants with limited options for healthy and dignified livelihoods. The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunity and enhance peace and security for rural communities in the Dominican Republic. IAF grantee The Nature Power Foundation (Nature Power) engages community members of Las Mercedes to improve livelihoods by constructing and maintaining a community aqueduct and a micro-solar power plant. Nature Power collaborates with community members to strengthen their capacity to manage water and solar energy sustainably and in this way improve their livelihoods.
