With your support, Vision for Haiti’s book program is committed to
help ease the financial burden of education faced by many families in the
rural town of Meyer, where many struggles to feed, clothe, and house their
children.
Few families can afford to send their children to school. Of those
families, many do not have the means to purchase the textbooks needed
for the school year besides paying for their child’s tuition. As a
result, families send their children to school without textbooks hoping
the child’s attendance in the classroom is enough to learn the lessons
presented in class. It isn’t enough. Without textbooks, children cannot
keep up in the classroom and fall behind.
The Vision for Haiti book program’s second year was a tremendous success! All
of our 620 students made amazing strides. Providing textbook so that the
children can follow along in class, review what they’ve learned, and complete
homework assignments has made a remarkable difference in their progress.
Participants in the book program were the highest percentage of students that
completed their current grade and advanced to the next. Students
that were once doing poorly before their participation in the book program are
now excelling beyond our expectations; with many in top 10th percentile of
their class.
We expect even better results as we can provide more textbooks for more
students. With your support, Vision for Haiti can continue to support these
students and their families in their pursuit to improve their lives and their
communities.
Vision for Haiti would like to thank Global giving and all the supporters who
are making this hope come true. Please continue to give so we can
meet our goal to give books to all the students of Meyer, Haiti.
