Send a child to school-Make a difference in Haiti

This past year has been an unpresented year with Covid-19 and the world shutting down for months. Haiti First was still able to accomplish many things for the students in Haiti. We have had to expand on our education goal because of covd-19 and we recently needed to shift resources to children to help with the covid-19 pandemic. We have distributed face masks and educational resources. We have distributed thousands of masks to northern, southern and eastern parts of Haiti. The students are in a new building and are being supported with education although it was been hard with covid-19 virus spreading throughout the world. It has been a great success for these students to be in a brand new building! The building is equipped with 3 to 4 rooms that can be used for different learning options and various activities. We have also been able to support teachers during this past year and this has made the school all the more successful. One of the most exciting things that has been done for the students is the implementation of a garden. This enables the students to learn how to take care of land and learn agricultural skills. We are very grateful for the progress that has been made so far and look forward to expanding on this project in the next few years and sustaining what have done so far.

Haiti First goal is to help & address the basic education needs and believe that only through education and empowering the poor we can & will make a profound impact.

Haiti First goal is to help & address the basic education needs and believe that only through education and empowering the poor we can & will make a profound impact.

We have had to expand on our education goal becase of covd-19 and we recently needed to shift resources to children to help with covid-19 pandemic. We have distributed face masks and educational resources. We have distributed over 5,000 masks to northern, southern and eastern parts of Haiti.

We have continued our efforts in education. In rural Haiti, the average student to teacher ratio is 50 to 1. Our partner schools are poorly supplied with resources and the majority of them are without electricity and clean water. Those children are literally left behind in the 21st century due to malnutrition and lack of infrastructures which have impacted their learning ability. We are trying to keep up literacy levels and at the same time provide at least one hot meal to those children.

We are running a campaign to provide the students with essential stationery and textbooks as well as much needed material in order to go to school. We are also raising money for students/orphans to eat and with the new covid19 crisis we are planning to see how we can help with food, masks and resources.

Our objectives are simple: to continue to assist the local parish school in every way we can - particularly with the feeding of primary school children, and their education. This will help them concentrate and focus on their studies while they are at school and will also provide them with some of the nutrients that they are lacking.

$10 will support 1 uniform

$20 will provide resources for 1 teacher per week

$25 will provide school supplies for 60 students per year

$50 will provide items to use when there is no electricity

$100 will provide Christmas gifts

$130 will provide food for 60 students

$1,000 will provide generator for school

$5,000 will provide another temporary school for an additional 60-100 students
