About Vida Plena
Learn About Our Mission
The words Vida Plena mean “full life”, and perfectly describe the vision we have for the women we serve. Vida Plena exists to see these women flourish economically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We do this by providing artisan trade training, micro-finance programs, adult literacy classes, and dignified employment in a safe, secure, and Christ-centered environment.
We opened our doors on October 1, 2018 and have been able to provide training and employment programs to the women of the Dominican Republic ever since.
Vida Plena is a ministry of 2nd Mile Missions dedicated to serving the women in the communities of Monte Verde and El Hoyo. The majority of the women we serve also have children who attend a 2nd Mile Missions school.
