School, Not Slavery, for Haitian Children

Haiti Children

Older Haitian children who haven't had the chance to begin school are excluded from ever starting school. Schools reserve 1st grade for young children. These older kids not only grow up illiterate, they are at great risk for being sent away into domestic servitude where they face abuse and neglect. Beyond Borders helps schools develop accelerated education classes where students complete two years of school each year. Parents often retrieve children from slavery to enroll them in these classes.
