Our shipment of 250,000 Vitakidz meals from S. Africa was finally released by the Dominican port authority in November, 2024. With nearly overwhelming shipping and customs obstacles to overcome, our director and his team’s diligence and patience finally paid off. Immediately David and his team distributed the meals to 15 different ministries as well as many other individuals and families in need.
The ministries and organizations that received Vitakidz (including the youth baseball league pictured above) found it very effective as a breakfast for children and calorie/vitamin booster, and expressed interest for more! We are currently in communication with multiple ministries to explore the possibility of suppling them with Vitakidz. We are also in the process of purchasing a delivery truck to increase our delivery capacity to meet the demand in both the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
David Destinoble
Director of Haiti and Dominican Republic
David is a chef by trade, and has years experience managing and cooking in the restaurant industry. He and his wife Melissa have a heart for helping families in need.
In the Dominican Republic, the current focus of OTB is to distribute Vitakidz to ministries that are discipling children. Vitakidz is the perfect meal supplement in the DR where most children’s diets lack the sufficient nutrients their body and brain need for proper development.
At a cost of a mere 25 cents per portion, Vitakidz is an ideal solution to childhood hunger in the DR.
