Invest in Haiti's Future Leaders

REBUILD globally's Education Program students have been enjoying their first three months of school, including their tutoring sessions and their new classes in technology and computer sciences. We have been off to a great.

Despite happy beginnings for the 2018-2019 school year, however, January is one of the saddest months for our students and the Haitian people in general, as January 12 is the anniversary of the day that Haiti was hit by a tragic earthquake in 2010 that killed over 250,000 people, affected any estimated 3.5 (of 10 million) people, and left many children orphaned. 

Our students were fortunate this month to have a group of international missionaries and a pastor organize a memorial event. We gathered together on the REBUILD globally campus - singing and praying together, with a deep appreciation for life, and a respect for those whose lives were lost.  It was a supportive environment where our students could grow, stay strong, and receive support for their sorrow as they remembered loved ones, family members, and friends they lost in the earthquake. 

We are grateful for new beginnings, and we are grateful for the future of our beautiful country, which lies in the hearts and minds of young people.

In Haiti, education remains a big challenge for the majority of the population. This school year 2017-2018, the national success rate for the senior year was 29.54%. We are so proud of our children, that took the national exams and passed at a 75% success rate!

It was such an honor to celebrate this victory with a graduation party! Because of generous contributions of donors like you, throughout the year, we offered tutoring sessions to our children, which helped them to be very successful in their class and in their exams! Two of our graduating students, Vachon and Mahana reported that without the tutoring sessions, the exams would be very difficult for them, and because of the tutoring; they had chance to understand all the subjects and exercises that they did not understood in their class. In addition, Vachon claims, "Most of the challenging questions and exercises that I practiced through the REBUILD globally tutoring sessions with the help of our tutors, were on the national exam! The exercises were difficult for so many students, but came easily for them!

Our three graduated, Mahana, Vachon and Gael has moved forward and taken the next step in their life as they will begin to select a University, and join REBUILD globally's Lavi Training Program in January.  The Lavi Program will where they will take important job training modules that will lead to a guaranteed job with our for-profit partner, deux mains designs.

Thank you so much again to you all our donors, we could not make this impact in our children’s lives without your support! We began the school year in October with fresh energy and excitment, and have added 5 additional slots to our Education Program, which now supports a total of 40 students!  We can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
