Project Mañana International — Organization Profile
Project Mañana International is a 501(c)(3) Christian charitable organization that works to share the Gospel and help break the cycle of poverty by investing in impoverished children, their families, and their communities. Its ministry focuses on clean water, nutrition, education, discipling, health, and community development projects in the Dominican Republic.
The organization’s U.S. mailing address is in Venice, Florida, through Agape Flights, while its field work is centered in the Dominican Republic. Project Mañana serves communities including San Pablo in Villa González, Ciudad de Dios in Cienfuegos, Dajabón, La Romana, La Vega, La Victoria, Licey, Mao, Moca, Puerto Plata, San Cristóbal, San Francisco de Macorís, San Pedro de Macorís, Santiago, and Santo Domingo.
Project Mañana began from the mission work of Brian and Nebraska Berman, who co-founded the ministry after Brian moved to the Dominican Republic in 2007 and began developing relationships with local communities. The organization officially opened in 2010 and has developed a ministry model that combines child sponsorship, direct services, discipleship, local employment, and short-term mission participation.
The ministry’s core projects include child sponsorship, clean water distribution, nutrition, Christian education, prison ministry, wellness services, and community development. Its Nutrition Project provides meals to impoverished children, while its Clean Water Project distributes water purification systems to families and communities. Its education work includes Project Mañana Private School and university scholarships, helping students pursue long-term opportunity through learning and support.
Project Mañana also operates the Holistic Care Center in San Pablo, a health and wellness clinic that provides medical, dental, and mental health services. Its Prison Project includes the Institute for Authentic Manhood and the Institute for Authentic Womanhood, which serve incarcerated men and women, prison officials, and surrounding communities through discipleship and life-formation programs.
People can engage with Project Mañana International by sponsoring a child, giving to a project, making a general donation, joining a short-term mission team, supporting a trip participant, applying for internships or missionary service, subscribing for updates, and praying for children, families, staff, and community leaders in the Dominican Republic. Its distinct contribution is a Gospel-centered, locally embedded ministry that connects clean water, nutrition, education, discipleship, wellness care, and mission trips for vulnerable children and families in the Dominican Republic.
