Dominican Republic (Santiago)


Santiago is the country's second largest city and is the central region's metropolis. Having recently gone through an era of rapid growth and development, Santiago experiences the difficulties of many other fast growing cities, such as irregular electricity supply, insufficient potable water, and the displacement of the poor. Students International started full time ministry in Santiago, Dominican Republic in 2015 and continues to build relationships in the community and develop various occupational ministry sites to meet both physical and spiritual needs.
