Guanin measures both the success of our programs in terms of our services and resources circulated, but also assesses improvements in quality of life of our community members.

OUR COLLETIVE IMPACT 

Community of la Piedra, Dominican Republic
 

The residents of La Piedra, San Antonio de Guerra live in extreme poverty. Around 60% earn less than US$8 per day for lack of employment (not because they do not want to work), and one in three earns less than US$5 per day—if they are lucky enough to earn anything!—which is why we focus on this population group. They survive by raising animals, principally chickens, growing some food for local consumption, such as yucca and other vegetables, and by doing occasional odd jobs (chiripeo). A few of the residents buy potable water, but it is only available in 5-gallon bottles that cost US$1 each. Only 10% of the residents have access to electricity, and there are no telephone lines, Internet, or other types of technology available.
