His message focused on the urgency of focusing efforts on the well-being of children and youth as fundamental pillars for national progress.

A call for national unity
The president of the foundation stressed that the country’s development depends directly on the investment and support provided to vulnerable sectors. In this regard, he extended an invitation to various sectors of public and private life:
- State institutions.
- Private sector companies.
- Civil society organizations.
- General public.
The goal is to unite efforts to strengthen education, community development, and social assistance programs that directly impact families facing the greatest economic challenges.
Finally, the Youth for My Neighborhood Foundation reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continue executing social initiatives. Figuereo concluded by highlighting the multiplier effect of these actions: by providing support to an individual or family in a vulnerable situation, one is directly contributing to the construction of a more equitable, prosperous, and supportive Dominican Republic for all.
