Meet Adriana Mora
Adriana Mora is 42 years old and has lived in her community for most of her life. She lives with her two children, ages 22 with special conditions, and 9, whom she cares for while working to support her household.
Adriana works as a community health promoter and has been dedicated to this role for several years, serving and supporting others in her community.
Her current home is in poor condition and has deteriorated over time. When it rains, water enters the house, making daily life uncomfortable and unsafe for her family.
Her daily routine is centered around both her work and caring for her children. She leaves home early to fulfill her responsibilities and returns later in the day, while also ensuring her youngest child attends school and receives the care she needs.
A new home would bring a significant improvement to their lives. It would provide a safer, more stable environment, especially during rainy days, and offer more space and comfort for her family.
For Adriana, this change represents peace of mind, better living conditions, and a more secure future for her children.

About the Community
San Juan de la Maguana is located in the western region of the Dominican Republic and sits in a broad valley surrounded by mountain ranges. Known as the country’s agricultural heartland, approximately 85% of the province’s land is dedicated to farming, particularly beans, rice, and corn. The region’s fertile soil and open plains make it a vital contributor to the Dominican Republic’s food supply.
The climate is generally hot and sunny, with average daytime temperatures around 85°F (29°C). Due to its elevation and surrounding mountains, evenings tend to be cooler, especially after sunset. Rainfall is seasonal, resulting in lush, green landscapes during the rainy months and drier conditions at other times of the year.
San Juan is a predominantly rural province with limited infrastructure, simpler accommodations, and fewer commercial amenities. Visitors should be prepared for basic conditions, intermittent electricity, and limited internet access.
