MISSION
MISSION
United, Promoting Leadership & Innovation of the Disabled (UPLIFT’D) is a project by Johileny Meran, Mariela Regalado and Latinas & Líderes. Our mission is to foster disability inclusion in the organization. This project aims to uplift youth with disabilities in under-resourced communities in Dominican Republic. We aim to provide funding for disability-related accommodations while promoting leadership and innovation in their own lives in an effort to nurture a balance of interdependence. UPLIFT’D and Latinas & Líderes seek to provide these resources as a means to uplift disabled youth to blaze their own trails to leadership and self-sufficiency.
The Uplift'D Project is just getting started and our first initiative is to Uplift Darvin.
What do we hope to accomplish?
MOBILITY- a brand new functional electric wheelchair
BASIC NECESSITIES- a brand new bed that accommodates his disability
ACCESS- technology, educational & reading materials
A registered 501(c)3 organization founded by Dominican Women in the Education field. L&L seeks to empower and inspire girls from under-resourced communities in the Dominican Republic, allowing them to obtain the tools and skills for becoming leaders of their own lives, families and communities. Our leadership and empowerment camp along with other educational opportunities like mentoring aim to transform girls into the leaders of tomorrow. We also engage in a variety of community outreach activities throughout Dominican Republic and New York City, such as distribution of book bags, school and hygiene supplies, and sneakers.
