Can you afford $1.00 a week over a year to help a child get an education? The children in Casse-Pied Haiti attend the elementary school started and operated by Hope N Literacy. The foundation, through its donors pays the salary for the teachers, but the school supplies are separate and very much in need.  In addition to basic items like pencils, and paper we need to purchase new chock boards and replace seats / desks.  During our April visit we discovered several students missing because they do not have suitable clothes to wear. We want to provide uniforms consisting of a “T” Shirt and khaki pants (for boys) and a jumper for girls.

Sponsors will pay $1 / week or $52/ year to provide these essential items for the elementary students. In turn they will receive a personal hand-written thank you letter (with a translation to English attached). The sponsor will receive updates about the child’s progress and a copy of the final report card.

Can you afford $5/ month to help a child get a proper education?

After the sixth grade, children in Casse-Pied must go to national school. They would attend the school in Jean-Rabel 5 miles (one way) at the bottom of the mountain, if they could pay the tuition. Public school, in Haiti is NOT free. Most cannot afford the $250 (Haitian) registration fee and the $55 (Haitian) monthly tuition. That amounts to $104 a year or $2.00 a week.

These children are willing, as we witnessed, to walk to and from school daily (10 mile round trip). They need our help. The three girls shown below have received help for this year, but many more never had that opportunity. A sponsorship of $100/ year will allow a young boy or girl to get the education needed to improve their life and improve their country. A sixth grade education it not good enough in USA and not good enough in Haiti either. Can you afford $2 a week so someone can go to school?
