Empowering parents while feeding and educating children
By helping parents start a small business it allowed them to earn the money needed to feed their family. Finding sponsors to donate funds allowing children from Port-au-Prince to attend school. As there is no free public education in Haiti, children are unable to attend school without paying for uniforms, books, supplies, and tuition – expenses far beyond the means of most families. Our 501c3 organization allows sponsors in our home area to donate funds to cover school for a specific child. This is our pilot year, and we secured sponsorships to send 27 children to elementary school for 2018-2019. In the future, we hope to expand the program to sponsor additional children for primary and secondary school, vocational training for teenagers and young adults, and college for children from local families and orphanages.
