» CARICAP Supports L.I.F.O Missions
LIFO (Living Instruments For Others) is a non-profit organization based in Miami, Florida, that develops self-help projects in remote regions of the Dominican Republic. Our mission since 1985 has been to help some of the poorest people improve their living conditions and consequently, their education, health and future prospects. For over 25 years LIFO has been coordinating with religious and other non- governmental organizations in the country and has focused on helping small villages in the interior of the country with three basic needs: Clean Water, Education and Healthcare.
LIFO is a volunteer group led by two friends, Albert and Alfred, who went on their first volunteer trip to the Dominican Republic when they were 16. They thought it would be a fun trip away from their parents but twenty years of service later it is clear that the experience changed them forever with a lifelong commitment to help others. What they have created is a successful grass-roots non-profit organization that focuses not only on the success of the project but also in forging connections between the volunteers and the campesinos believing that this is what it takes to make long-lasting change.
The Water Project is a documentary that follows the group's 20th anniversary trip to the Dominican Republic as they build an aqueduct for a remote community that has never had running water .
Caricap Inc. has been part of these missions, since 1998 in the Aqueduct Project in Hondovai, Dominican Republic. And keeps supporting the missions and projects in many different ways until this day.
