Dominican Town Explores Ecotourism

What’s a small, Dominican beach town to do when it seems its only options are to stay forever trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty or sell out to big name resorts that often cause more harm than good? The town of Miches in the Dominican Republic is exploring a different solution: ecotourism. See how the people of Miches are seeking sustainable, ecofriendly means of development in this video featured in the New York Times.

Plant With Purpose works in similar areas to help communities develop in sustainable, empowering ways that utilize local talents, gifts, and resources to transform the community.
