The Batey Relief Alliance
The BRA’s logo uniquely embodies several levels of meaning—four human beings representing our partners, BRA, the international community and our target populations, holding hands suggesting cooperation, mutual respect and understanding, sharing, and the reinforcement of individual efforts when joined together. At the same time, the word batey, meaning, in Taino Indian, community, creates the strongest spiritual value that, a community is everywhere, and that all of its members, regardless of race, sex, creed, religion, national origin or political affiliations, must endeavor to secure its stability, survival and future only as they work together in harmony. Finally, the logo’s totality endows a joyful gesture that expresses accomplishment, liberation, and spiritual uplift.
Established in 1997, the BATEY RELIEF ALLIANCE—BRA operates as a humanitarian aid entity, uniting grassroots organizations, government agencies, universities and the international community in a strategic partnership to help create a productive and self-sufficient environment for children and families severely affected by poverty, disease and hunger in the Caribbean. Toward this end, BRA’s regional arm in the Dominican Republic, BRA DOMINICANA, is actively involved in addressing the socio-economic ills facing thousands of Haitian immigrant families and Dominicans inside the bateyes, urban and rural slums and the frontier zones of Haiti and the Dominican Republic by raising public awareness, facilitating thoughtful dialogues, and delivering sustainable and quality services in primary care, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, blindness prevention, child development, improved water and sanitation, education and capacity building, and disaster relief.
The BATEY RELIEF ALLIANCE is proud to be recognized today as a pioneer and leading organization investing more than US $5 million each year in health-oriented projects to improve human conditions and help foster productivity in the Dominican Republic. The faith and trust our allied donors and partners put in us to ensure equity in health care for all is clearly honored by our policy of investing our resources INSIDE the affected communities and distributing secured donations to our diverse partnership comprising of local NGOs, government agencies and missionary groups.
The BATEY RELIEF ALLIANCE is inspired by the bona fide involvement of its international partners and the quality and variety of work conducted by its in-country partner organizations. These local institutions receive internationally supported resources from the BRA as they collaborate and contribute tremendously to the enhancement of human conditions—a core value of the humanitarian mission of the Batey Relief Alliance.
