DASAC social assistance programs in Dominican Republic

Overview

The Directorate of Social Assistance and Community Feeding (DASAC) has implemented various aid initiatives across the Dominican Republic to support vulnerable populations.

In La Vega, the agency coordinated with the Father Rogelio Cruz Foundation to provide technical aids, such as wheelchairs, and household items including beds, refrigerators, and stoves to over 200 low-income families, including the elderly and people with disabilities.

In San Cristóbal, DASAC delivered nine modern sewing machines to the Centro de Promoción y Ayuda para el Desarrollo Playa Linda. Director General Edgar Augusto Féliz Arbona stated the equipment is intended to “foster economic independence and self-employment for local women” as part of a broader commitment to providing vocational tools. This donation follows previous administrative efforts at the center, such as the installation of a roof.

Additionally, DASAC has provided emergency relief to families affected by recent disasters. In Barahona, the agency delivered household items to two families in the Villa Central municipal district following a fire. In Dajabón, the agency provided televisions, refrigerators, stoves, beds, and furniture to families in the La Ciénaga and Lajas Campeche communities who suffered damage from heavy rains and strong winds. This follows an earlier phase of assistance focused on repairing roofs and providing construction materials.
