My son is now able to attend the university. Before, it was difficult to come up with money to pay for his school tuition; it was even tough coming up with money to make sure he was able to eat.

I'd love to have the opportunity to build a home where I can accommodate my father & my children. My goal is to buy land where I can build a house.

My children are healthier and I can give them an education. There were times in the past that my children went to school without anything to eat, but now it's a different story.

What is a LIVING WAGE?
"The Spanish translation of “living wage” is salario digno -- a wage with dignity -- which better captures the Alta Gracia concept. Alta Gracia pay their workers more than 3 times the minimum wage for apparel workers in the Dominican Republic. In addition to this salary, the company respects its employees’ rights as workers and as human beings, including the right to a safe and healthy workplace, the right to be treated with dignity and respect on the job, and the right to form a union.A respected independent organization, the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC), verifies Alta Gracia’s compliance with these standards through intensive on-the-ground monitoring of the factory. Every Alta Gracia product carries a WRC tag confirming the product was sewn by workers who are paid a living wage, have a union to represent them, and are treated fairly when they come to work.
