Together with two large companies, Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos (AFD) and Ron Barceló, the initiative was born to establish what is now known as the AFD-Barcelo Foundation.
Social Impact
Rum helps others too!
The AFD-Barcelo Foundation has benefited more than 300 families from 5 bateyes with health programs, and more than 500 students from 13 bateyes with our education programs.
Valores
As active members of this Foundation, the contributions made directly or indirectly to the neediest communities in the Dominican Republic are significant to us, focusing especially on those who live near our facilities.
Mission
Our main mission as a foundation is to support the communities of the area, through the implementation of programs that seek important knowledge and tools that help Dominicans to improve their life quality, focusing mainly on the education of children.
To date, we have carried out:
- Projects focused on education of values and the care and cleaning of the environment.
- Two (2) health programs where we assist the elderly.
- Yearly journeys of specialized medical consultations for the entire community.
Our commitment to communities nowadays remains firm and for years to come, we hope to increase the scope of our projects to achieve a greater number of families and students benefited.
