Report, Year 2020.
This year, 2020, has been very difficult for everyone all over the world and has been especially difficult for non-profit institutions due to the pandemic. Centro Guanin would like to thank all of its sponsors and donors, national and international Guanin Board Members, and friends for everything they have done this past year.
We pray to God Almighty that our communities may continue to be blessed by donations from caring individuals from the USA and other parts of the world. With your help, we can continue to provide medical assistance, home visits, and much needed medication, food, and clothing, as we have done for the past 20 years.
1.- We assist the community through programs such as Covid-19 Relief, and social assistance, donations of 800 bags of food, especial medical assistance to 245 elderly patients with hypertension and diabetes, as well as several cases of tuberculosis and HIV.
2.- Gender Equality and Economic Opportunity. In response Covid-19 Relief, Guanin Center has launched an Emergency Response Fund program for $30,000, to issue immediate cash, for small loans to the women of the community of la Piedra, Dominican Republic, affected by this pandemic with a low interest loan program with 6 months free to start paying back the loans. We have trained 10 women in a 4 week financial education course for entrepreneurs, who would be the first 10 families to receive the Kindom Loans project; this project would provide assistance to 1170 families, the vast majority that live below the poverty line in La Piedra Community.
