Help US Send 220 Children To School in Haiti

Dear Supporters and friends,

Delmas 33, one of the safest areas in the metropolitan region, has become a refuge for many displaced families. Our partner schools here have opened their doors with compassion, welcoming children who have been uprooted from their homes and communities. These students arrive carrying not only the weight of displacement but also the burden of lost learning opportunities.

Many of these children are significantly behind in their school programs. Through no fault of their own, they struggle to keep pace with classmates who have had uninterrupted access to education. Without intervention, this gap could widen, leaving them discouraged and at risk of falling permanently behind.

Education is more than lessons; it is hope, dignity, and opportunity. These children did not choose their circumstances, but together we can choose to give them a fair chance. A well-educated student means Haiti is minus a teenager with a gun. Many of these children are frustrated, having lost parents, siblings, cousins, and friends to violence. All conditions are present for them to be recruited into gangs if we do nothing. That is why, alongside tutoring, we sometimes bring psychologists to support their mental health and help them heal.

With your support, we can initiate tutoring sessions, provide learning materials, and strengthen the safety net for displaced students. Together, we can ensure that every child, regardless of their journey, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive—and that Haiti gains one more student instead of losing one more teenager to violence.

With gratitude,

Herold

Dear friends and supporters,

We’re overjoyed to share some wonderful news from Haiti! Despite the ongoing challenges and insecurity our country continues to face, the 2025–2026 school year officially began on October 1st. Thanks to your generosity and God’s grace, two of our partner schools have reopened their doors.

*College Les Sophos* in Delmas and *Institution Mixte Source Divine* in Titanyen are once again alive with the joyful sounds of children learning, laughing, and dreaming of a brighter future. Seeing their smiles reminds us that hope is stronger than fear, and education remains one of the most powerful paths to change.

This milestone was made possible because of you, our donors, partners, and friends
who continue to believe in the power of education, even when times are hard.

Still, our mission is not yet complete. We urgently need your help to reopen three other schools in the communities of *Seau d’Eau, Boukankare, and Dubuisson*. These areas have been deeply affected by displacement and poverty, and reopening these schools would give many more children a chance to learn, grow, and believe in their dreams again.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to restoring hope and opportunity for Haiti’s children. Together, we are not only sending children to school—we are building resilience, rebuilding communities, and shaping Haiti’s future.

Thank you for standing with us. Your continued support on GlobalGiving makes this possible every day.

With heartfelt gratitude,
