Helping Women Start Businesses in D.R.

I am going to be moving to Santo Domingo during the spring of 2001. After I get there I would like to work for an organization that helps women in the Dominican Republic start and run businesses. Are there any organizations down there that do that kind of work? If so, I would love to know the names of them and the contact info for them.

Hi - you might want to try MUDE - this is a Dominican NGO helping women set up small businesses with credit.
Contact Dona Rosa - the Executive Director.

Good luck

I agree with heather...contact Rosa Rita at MUDE...she's the boss and the person to make the first contact. Feel free to drop my name, I've known her for over 20 years...their references are:

Mujeres en Desarollo Dominicana (MUDE), Dominican Republic
100% of the borrowers are women.
