Our Mission
We acknowledge that Samana Group investments have a significant impact on the entire Samaná region and its communities. Our mission is to ensure that this impact is solely positive. We believe in corporate social responsibility, which is why we have established a foundation with a mission to protect the natural heritage and support the local communities of Samaná. Our goal is to offer quality education and promote entrepreneurship. We aim to achieve this by leveraging our company’s resources to provide business opportunities, mentorship from experienced professionals, and partnerships with influential organizations willing to fund scholarships and internship programs for local youth.
Our Manifesto
We believe that having a carefree childhood and education is pure luck and that hard work is not enough to be successful. Our goal is to redistribute "luck" among groups of people who are less fortunate.
Instead of one-off acts of support for a wider group, we reach out to smaller groups of people in need, and our support lasts as long as it's needed.
We believe in the 'minimum effective dose' approach - we look for the simplest intervention in someone's life that will give them the best chance of breaking out of the poverty trap.
We want to encourage community involvement and spread a sense of social responsibility to create a domino effect that will raise other great contributors to society.
Our aim is to use the resources of the Samana Group to transfer skills, train professionals, create entrepreneurs and ultimately support their businesses through our structures, including sharing access to our customer base.
