Los Mina Sur Program
Literacy-focused Tutoring Classes
Los Mina Sur is a low-income neighborhood located in the capital city of Santo Domingo. In 2022, Yspaniola conducted extensive research to identify the community’s most urgent needs. This research determined a severe lack of reading fluency and comprehension among young students. In response to such findings, we implemented a new literacy-focused educational program for local students as a pilot program. This program is built upon the knowledge and experience Yspaniola has gained after effectively implementing similar programs in Batey Libertad for over 10 years. Since the successful completion of the pilot, the Los Mina Sur Program has expanded. It is now a core component of Yspaniola’s mission to improve educational outcomes in underserved areas
EVERY CHILD
