Back to School - Textbooks needed in Haiti

 With your help, Vision for Haiti’s book program is committed to helping ease the financial burden of education experienced by many families in the rural town of Meyer, where many struggles to provide for, School supplies, books clothe and house their children.

Few parents 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, parents send their children to school without books hoping the child’s attendance in the classroom is enough to learn the lessons presented in class. It isn’t sufficient. 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 incredible strides. Providing textbook so that the children can follow along in class, review what they’ve learned, and complete homework assignments have 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 the first 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.

The vision for Haiti would like to thank Global giving and all the supporters who are making this hope come true. Please continue to give generously so we can meet our goal to provide books and school supplies to all the students of Meyer, Haiti.
