DANTAGO
Build hope. Build future.
Dantago Center is a social activist’s, Katrina’s, vision - born out of a desire to give woman skills to become self-sustainable. Dantago promotes individual empowerment to take control of their lives.
Katrina started out by providing a space for women to come together and practice hand skills producing items they could then resell. She noticed, more and more, kids coming after school and joining their mothers, enjoying the community that was forming. That’s when Katrina extended the slowly growing center to include an after-school program.
