Santo Domingo.- The Banreservas Volunteer Program carried out a massive day of the program “Life for the Ozama”, in which more than 700 residents of communities adjacent to the river exchanged plastic bags for rations of food from the basic basket.


The activity took place in the El Dique sector and is part of the institution’s efforts to promote environmental sustainability, while offering a direct benefit to the families in the area.


Director Shailyn Sosa highlighted that this initiative constitutes a comprehensive effort that unites environmental sustainability and economic development in the communities near the Ozama.


“This project not only seeks to protect our natural resources, but also to strengthen the well-being and living conditions of the residents of this area,” Sosa expressed.


In its 12 years of operation, the “Vida para el Ozama” program has impacted thousands of people and has managed to collect more than seven million pounds of plastics on the banks of the Ozama River, establishing itself as one of the most relevant social and environmental initiatives in the country.
