Background
Hurricane Maria has stymied opportunities for Dominican students to learn using educational tools commonly found in North American classrooms. Their education is at risk. Through your support we will offer Dominican students a contemporary, meaningful education served by knowledgeable teachers with effective learning tools at hand.​

The IT for Dominica Foundation is a volunteer organization who, for over seventeen years, has partnered with public entities in Canada and the Commonwealth of Dominica in the interest of providing contemporary education to students and teachers in Dominica. Over this time IT for Dominica has provided professional development, technology resources, technicians, and professional and technical expertise.

  • We hold a long-term history of nearly 20 years working with the Dominican Ministry of Education, with educators in Dominica and in Canada, and with technical staff in both countries. We have involved nearly 1000 Dominican teachers in our professional development programs with excellent evaluations by participants and teachers.
  • We have experience in shipping educational resources to Dominica – in the early 2000’s the IT for Dominica Project was the #1 supplier of technologies to Dominican schools. We have a proven track record in delivering supplies and technical expertise to students and teachers in sometimes challenging logistical situations.​
  • We believe in the power of partnerships serving education. This includes public and private partners – both in Canada and in Dominica.
  • We address targeted needs, meeting educational needs in Dominica by working closely with the Ministry of Education in the Commonwealth of Dominica.
  • We are results oriented. We set goals and fulfill those goals by working with partners, volunteers and donors. We share the results of each phase with all contributors.
  • We value the expertise of our professional development and technical teams, involving some of the most talented IT integrators in Canada and Dominica, sharing experiences and expertise.
  • As a volunteer organization we minimize expenses; we have a zero administrative overhead approach. We offer transparency.​​​
