Programs and results
What we aim to solve
As a developing third-world nation, the Dominican Republic battles several issues stemming from poverty, lack of education, and general disorganization. Some of the country's primary issues include, but are not limited to: Lack of employment, teen pregnancy, drug/alcohol addiction, and crime. Since its founding, Project Mañana is working to directly combat these negative societal issues through several Projects.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Nutrition Project
This project provides a nutritious meal, clean drinking water, and vitamin supplement to impoverished children (under the age of 18).
Education Project
This project provides a high-quality, private education to impoverished children.
Clean Water Project
This project provides water purification systems to impoverished communities.
Prison Project
Project Mañana believes that prison should be a place of rehabilitation. Changing an inmate's heart is the first step in creating a productive and rehabilitated member of society. This project provides prison inmates with a first-hand experience of God's love through discipleship workshops.
Project Mañana's team of expert chaplains have created the Institute For Authentic Manhood™; which offers courses designed to change an inmate's behavior by changing their heart through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Timothy Project
The Timothy Project seeks to: Share the Gospel (Matthew 28:16-20), Empower Leaders Through Discipleship (2 Timothy 2), Plant Churches (Acts 1:8, 13:1-3, 14:21-23), Provide For The Needy (Acts 4:32-35), Create Jobs & Offer Employment (Proverbs 14:23)

Goals & Strategy

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Short Term:
Provide for the immediate and basic nutritional and educational needs of impoverished children in the Dominican Republic.
Long Term:
Establish vocational training and higher-education programs to help eliminate the cycle of poverty.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Project Mañana seeks to achieve it's goals through charitable donations and child sponsorship, which unites children in need with individual sponsors who wish to address the children's immediate and basic needs. Sponsorship gives poor children the tools and opportunities necessary for success by providing benefits and supporting programs for each child - primarily in the areas of nutrition and education.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Project Mañana's team is comprised of professionals trained in the area of international ministry and relief programs. Collectively the team has more than 20 years of experience. Additionally, Project Mañana has diversified its program offerings to allow for the greatest impact. Nutrition centers throughout the Dominican Republic offer immediate aid and meet the most basic needs of impoverished children. Project Mañana's private school provides mental development with an education that is far superior to that offered in the public school system of the Dominican Republic.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Project Mañana has grown from serving 34 families when it opened its doors in September 2010 to serving 330+ families as of December 2018 through its nutrition, clean water, and education projects. Nutrition Project - in 2018, Project Mañana provided an average of 265 impoverished children with a nutritious meal, five days per week. Education Project - for the 2017/2018 school year, Project Mañana provided an education to 116 students (Grades Pre-K through 5th); for the 2018/2019 school year, Project Mañana provided an education to 111 students (Grades Pre-K through 5th). Clean Water Project - In 2018, Project Mañana's cumulative total of clean water filters distributed reached 600; providing a total of 32.8 million gallons of clean water annually to extremely impoverished families. Prison Project - in 2018, Project Mañana's Institute for Authentic Manhood/Womanhood (TM) graduated 955 people (inmates, prison staff, and government officials). Of the inmate graduates, many made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as their savior and were baptized by project mañana inside the prison. Project Mañana serves in 13 men's and 2 women's prisons in the Dominican Republic. Timothy Project - in 2018, the evangelical church that Project Mañana launched in 2015 continues to thrive. Additionally, the Timothy Project provided benevolent gifts to impoverished people for medical services, school scholarships, groceries, and more.

- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
