With your support, Vision for Haiti’s book program is devoted to support and improve the economic burden of education experienced by many families in the rural town of Meyer, where many tries to feed, clothe, and house their children. Few families can manage to send their children to school. Of those families, many appear not having the means to purchase the textbooks needed for the school year besides paying for their child’s tuition. As a result, families send their children to school without textbooks hoping the child’s attendance in the classroom is enough to learn the lessons presented in class. It isn’t enough. Without textbooks, children cannot keep up in the classroom and fall behind. Vision for Haiti book program’s Third year was a tremendous achievement! All of our 620 students made unbelievable 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 was once doing poorly before their participation in the book program is
Now excelling beyond our expectations; with many in the top 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. Vision for Haiti would like to thank Global Giving and all the supporters who are making this hope come true. Please continue to give so we can meet our goal to give books to all the students of Meyer.
