Every little bit helps the greater good of the world.
Our Mission
Sociedad Lucas is committed to community health and evangelistic work, modeled after the ministry of Jesus, who traveled from village to village healing, teaching, and preaching the gospel.
Why we do what we do?
The Dominican Republic is a tourist paradise, a country full of incredible places. But beyond this well-known reality lies another that few people see or know about. a reality where many are forgotten.
Sociedad Lucas is dedicated to reaching these overlooked communities and individuals. We focus on physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
Our mission is to provide food, medical services, education, and assistance to those who would otherwise wouldn’t have access to them.
We want to show the people who come to us that God loves them, that He cares for them, and that He provides for them and that He hasn’t forgotten about them.
How we do what we do
The communities we work in are called "Bateyes," which are the poorest communities in the country where 90% of the inhabitants are undocumented.
Partnering with Local Leaders to Meet Community Needs
To ensure that the impact we bring is effective and lasting, we seek to work together with those who know firsthand what the true needs of each family and individual are. For this reason, we work alongside local evangelical churches, neighborhood committees, and local community leaders.
Through these community leaders, God helps us recognize the needs of each community, and with the donations we receive along with our staff and volunteers, we can provide for the needs of these families every year through our different programs.
Donations Power Our Community Programs
As a registered non-profit in the Dominican Republic, all of our work is funded by donations. Whether it’s in the health sector with medicines or funding surgical procedures, as well as sponsorships and school supplies for students, home construction, or groceries for families, each donation we receive is used to reach the people in these communities through our programs.
The goal is to minister completely to the people we reach in a holistic way, addressing their needs in body, soul, and mind.
The message we want to convey to the most needy in the Dominican Republic is that God loves them, and He cares if they are suffering, sick, hungry, and in need of material goods. We want them to know that God cares about every detail of their lives and provides for them.
It's time to make God's love our priority. Let's change the DR together.
We have a long track record of wide-reaching effects.
