Sponsor a Child in the Dominican Republic for the First Time with 410 Bridge!

We have an exciting announcement — for the very first time, you can now sponsor a child in the Dominican Republic through 410 Bridge!

Child sponsorship has always been at the heart of what we do. It’s not just about giving — it’s about walking alongside a child as they discover their potential and begin to see themselves as part of the solution to poverty. It’s about encouragement, relationship, and hope. And now, this life-changing opportunity is expanding into the Dominican Republic.

Meet the Community of Las Malvinas

Las Malvinas, founded in 1981, is a resilient community of 4,700 people located in the heart of the Dominican Republic, now considered part of the town of Hato Mayor del Rey. The people here are no strangers to adversity — but they are also no strangers to perseverance and unity. Local churches and institutions come together to provide shelter in times of natural disaster, and neighbors support one another relentlessly.

Many of the children in Las Malvinas — including Haitian refugee children — face daily challenges, from limited access to education and healthcare to uncertain futures. But together, we can help change that.

What Happens When You Sponsor a Child?

When you sponsor a child through 410 Bridge, you’re not just meeting immediate needs — you’re investing in long-term transformation.

Your sponsorship provides:

Guaranteed school enrollment and access to quality education
Health monitoring and feeding programs when needed
Opportunities to learn about Jesus and grow spiritually through discipleship programming
Ongoing encouragement and relationship-building through letters, prayers, and stories you share with your sponsor child

Each community we serve is unique, and so is each sponsorship program. We work to design programs that honor each community’s strengths and meet their specific challenges. In Las Malvinas, that means supporting children — including Haitian refugees — with the tools and resources they need to build a brighter future.

Why Now?

Thanks to the partnership between 410 Bridge and Mission: Hope, we’re expanding our reach and impact, opening doors for you to make a difference in more places than ever before — in Kenya, Guatemala, and now the Dominican Republic.

We couldn’t do this without you. Your generosity changes lives.

Will You Take the Next Step?

This is your opportunity to be part of something new and meaningful — to change a child’s life and walk alongside them on their journey.

Because every child deserves the chance to thrive.

When Faith Becomes Action: The Story of Los Jazmines

July 14, 2025

Two years ago, in a small community in Guatemala, a group of women and two gentlemen took a bold step of faith. They didn’t have a business plan or financial background. What they had was a shared desire—for something different, something better. They wanted to grow. They wanted to believe. And most of all, they wanted to act on their faith.

That’s how Los Jazmines was born.

At first, it was a simple savings group, supported by 410 Bridge. A place where members could learn to manage money and build a safety net. But it didn’t stay simple for long. It quickly transformed into something much deeper—a place of prayer, discipleship, encouragement, and miracles.

Bringing Urgent Relief to Nicaragua’s Flooded Communities

July 11, 2025

In the remote villages along the rivers of Nicaragua, life is changing—and not for the better.

Recent floods have devastated entire communities, displacing families, destroying food supplies, and washing away crops that were meant to sustain them for months to come. The villages of Makantaka, Makantakita, Company Crick, Dakban, Guadalupe, Kansas City, Betania, Angloamerica, and La Esperanza have been hit especially hard. Over 80 families in each village are now facing an uncertain future.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen flooding in this region—but those on the ground are calling this situation uniquely devastating.

Homes are unlivable. Crops are gone. Hunger is growing.

The Story of Edy Josué Ruiz

July 10, 2025

When Edy Josué Ruiz arrived at the rehabilitation center in 2018, his life was marked by loneliness and the pain of his father’s absence. He didn’t speak, didn’t play, and found refuge in silence. But God had a plan for him.

The rehabilitation center provided the support he needed through speech therapy, motor skills development, and psychological counseling. However, it was the love and faith he encountered there that truly transformed his heart. Thanks to the therapists and their dedication, Edy began to open up—he learned to speak, to smile, and most importantly, to find peace through his faith in Jesus.

Community leaders also played a key role in Edy and his mother’s journey. Through their constant support, prayers, and encouragement, they offered spiritual and emotional strength. The community became a fundamental pillar in his transformation.
