$350 to send Kristelle to School for a Year

A microproject by International Disaster Volunteers (IDV)
$350 to send Kristelle to School for a Year

Summary

This project will provide a full year of education for Kristelle. Kristelle isn't sure how old she is - we think she's around 7. Her dad was forced to abandon her after Kristelle's mom left and he couldn't feed her anymore. Kristelle was sick and malnourished when she arrived, but now, thanks to healthy meals, she's making friends, enjoying school, and looking forward to tomorrow. With your help, we'll be able to provide her with the education she needs to build a secure future.

Challenge

As an orphan, Kristelle 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 Kristelle into a cycle of poverty. Ensuring access to school not only helps Kristelle, but strengthens Haitian communities in the long-term.

Solution

Kristelle has lived her whole life in poverty. She needs a quality education to find a prosperous future. Your donations will give her that education and set her on the road to a brighter tomorrow.

Long-Term Impact

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