The UniCoin team is delighted to announce our very first vetted charity and what an inspiring charity it is!

Yspaniola is an education-focused charity in the Dominican Republic. Their project is founded on the principle that all children deserve access to a quality education. With a solid educational foundation, children gain tools and confidence that pave the way for them to shape their own future. Knowledge is power and knowledge empowers!

“Raising Change-makers, Our Common Vision”

Yspaniola works with at-risk youth, many of whom who were born in the Dominican Republic to parents of Haitian descent. These Dominicans of Haitian descent are not recognized by the Dominican government as citizens. For this reason, they are often denied basic rights like education, health care and other public services.

All funds raised by Yspaniola support their education programs: from preschool classes that give kids the best possible start to their educational journey, through to full university scholarships for talented students whose families lack the resources necessary to help them achieve their dream of a university degree.
