Hola y Bienvenido
Hello and welcome!
The Cielo Cooperative is a group of beautiful women in the Cielo and Nazareth communities, villages on the outskirts of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Primarily, our hope is that our makers would be transformed by the love and truth of Jesus Christ. They have been meeting together since 2008, attending bible studies, learning jewelry-making and other skilled crafts, and serving their larger communities.
Most of the women do not have regular jobs and struggle daily to make ends meet. Our goal is that the Cielo Cooperative would provide a path out of poverty by supporting a dignified income for our artisans. We desire to equip and empower through skills training, financial literacy, and business development.
Thank you for your interest, advocacy, and support of this special ministry.
