Soy niña, soy importante

Soy niña, soy importante is an initiative developed by Fundación Tropicalia in 2013, and supports at-risk girls with a simple mission: protect their childhood, guide them in making timely life choices, and educate them and their community regarding their rights.

Soy niña, soy importante fulfills its mission via different action areas, including a summer camp, an at-home program, teen empowerment, and activism, which consists of awareness campaigns and civic participation, all of which are implemented in the Dominican Republic, with a geographic focus on the municipality of Miches in the province of El Seibo.
