In 1986 we started with donations, little by little, the physical instalations of center of education for the integral health, ILAC MISSION, in a Santiago suburb.From that instalations we delivered projects services in isolated communities.Formal education in these communities was poor. Peasants were migrating to urban areas, looking for better opportunities. In the city, therefore, conditions worsened, creating more social problems.
ILAC MISSION realized that an integral education was a priority. For years, ILAC MISSION trained and organized health cooperatives, men and women inside their rural communities, to promoted health in many aspects.Team work started, from their dynamic, solutions ideas came up for educational, agriculture and health in general.

Today, ILAC MISSION not only deliver health programs to more than 200 rural communities but other projects that inprove quality of life of rural populations, with an integral focus, from material affairs to spirituality. ILAC MISSION get into isolated rural communities where not other, offical or private organization ever visit. So ILAC focus the forgotten families in rural areas, we promote patriotic, morals and social values of the Dominican Republic.

ILAC MISSION is a facilitator for the integral development in three different way that complement each other: Health, education and agriculture.
