Named for the first child we set out to help
Every child we serve is made in the image of God, carrying dignity that no diagnosis can diminish. That conviction is the whole reason this ministry exists — and it began with one boy.
Cristobal, whom we call "Toba," lives in a remote mountain community in Bonao. He is blind, autistic, non-verbal, and likely living with additional developmental delays. He was the first child we sought to help — and yet, because his village is so difficult to reach, he has received the least consistent care of anyone in our program. It was in searching for a way to help him that our founder discovered how much greater the need was throughout the surrounding community. The Toba Foundation was created in direct response.
