Help US Send 220 Children To School in Haiti

Dear Supporters and Friends,

We want to share an important update on the growing needs in Haiti and our response through the Youth Empowerment Program. Recently, the UN reported that 180,000 of the 578,074 internally displaced people in Haiti are children. Many of these children have resettled in rural areas like Sodo, which are struggling to support the sudden influx of people. This crisis is evident in the unprecedented number of calls we’ve received from residents desperately seeking assistance.
As the new school year approaches, we are confronted with the challenge of supporting a significantly increased number of children and women in need. In response, we are committed to scaling up our operations to accommodate more of these vulnerable individuals. We are working tirelessly to expand our capacity, ensuring that every child has access to education and essential resources, and that their families receive the support they need.

Thank you for your continued support as we navigate these challenging times. Your generosity enables us to adapt and respond to the urgent needs of our community, making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Sincerely,
The Home Roots Foundation Team

Dear supporters and friends,

As many of you know there is a crisis in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, the capitol of Haiti. We have met as an organization and decided how we can best help as a small organization for now.

Tutoring Support
Due to the disruptions in school attendance caused by instability, we plan to intensify tutoring support for students. This includes additional tutoring sessions during the summer and extending support into the fall semester.

Entrepreneurship Training for Parents and Students
Recognizing the challenges faced by parents, many of whom are street merchants, we are providing entrepreneurship training and assistance with accessing financing. This support not only helps parents improve their livelihoods but also contributes to the overall well-being of their families.

Community Engagement
We are actively engaging with the community to identify additional ways to support students during this challenging time. This includes collaborating with local organizations, conducting community meetings, and soliciting feedback from parents and community members.

Impact and Outcomes
Through these initiatives, we aim to achieve the following outcomes:

1. Increased school attendance and academic performance among students.
2. Improved economic opportunities and financial stability for parents and families.
3. Strengthened community partnerships and engagement in education initiatives.

We remain committed to its mission of empowering children through education and supporting communities in Haiti. With the continued support of donors and partners, we are confident in our ability to make a positive impact on the lives of children and families in Haiti. We express our sincere gratitude to all supporters who contribute to our efforts to provide quality education to those in need.

Sincerely,
Joseph Paul
