Wilmer Figuereo urges prioritizing support for youth in vulnerable sectors
In the framework of the International Day of Solidarity, engineer Wilmer A. Figuereo, president of the Youth for My Neighborhood Foundation, called on Dominican society to intensify support for the most needy communities, placing special emphasis on childhood and youth.
Figuereo stressed that solidarity should not be limited to words, but rather translated into tangible actions that transform the quality of life of citizens and open doors of development for future generations. According to the leader, the country’s growth depends directly on social investment and the support provided to those residing in vulnerable environments.
Young people deserve opportunities. They are the future of the Dominican Republic and we must think about them, support them, and create the necessary conditions so that they can develop their capabilities and achieve their goals.
