A Year of School for Wilson!

Summary

This project will provide a year of year of education for seven year old Wilson. Wilson was brought to the orphanage by his grandparents. They made the difficult choice to give him up because they couldn't feed or educate Wilson, and they wanted him to have a bright future. Wilson is on the orphanage's best students - he simply loves school. Education is Wilson's ticket to a bright future! .

Challenge

As an orphan, Wilson is among the most vulnerable of Haitian children. There are no free schools in Port au Prince available, so the orphanage must employ its own teachers and run its own school. Lack of education locks kids like Nicholson into a cycle of poverty. Ensuring access to school not only improves children's lives, but strengthens Haitian communities in the long-term.

Solution

Wilson has lived his whole life in poverty. He needs a quality education to find a prosperous future. Your donations will give Wilson that education and set him on the road to a brighter tomorrow.

Long-Term Impact

Access to education will give Wilson the skills he needs to find a stable job and escape poverty when he's older.
