Education Program
Images of the children we support
Over 50% percent of Haiti's population is school age yet over half the population is illiterate. Many children cannot afford the
costs of education in Haiti because the average family makes less than $1 a day. The government does not provide
adequate funding for public schools and most families cannot afford the costs of private education, which can be as little as
$20 a year. Hope for Haiti assists families who do not have the means to educate their children. We believe the best way to
help fight poverty is to help the poor help themselves through educational opportunities. Through education all things are
possible. Currently Hope for Haiti supports over 300 children with their education.

Hope for Haiti has established
extensive networks of local Haitian
schools, school administrators,
teachers, churches, and committed
community members. Currently Hope
for Haiti is working with the
communities of Chambellan and
Ile-a-Vache. Both communities lie in
the south western area of Haiti and are
so isolated that they receive little to no
outside aid from local and international
aid groups. Hope for Haiti works hand
in hand with the local networks to
identify families who do not have the
financial means to educate their
children. Once these children are
identified we directly pay the costs of
tuition, books and uniforms. Once a
child receives an education it opens up
the door for many more opportunities
throughout their lifetime. If you would
like to sponsor a child please make a
donation to Hope for Haiti. Hope for
Haiti is a public charity (IRS Code
501(c)(3)), all donations are tax

Hope for Haiti develops and supports self-sufficient agriculture
projects. Our projects train local farmers to produce more food
while conserving their environment. These sustainable projects
provide families with food and income, and can be started with as
little as $100.

Hope for Haiti manages 15 acres of land used for demonstrative agriculture projects. The projects provide training, seeds and
supplies to local farmers. The land is also used as a cooperative farm to produce food and generate income for area residents.

Health Initiatives
In light of the cholera outbreak HFH has provided much needed health-related infrastructure to
communities in IAV. As an ongoing project we have installed rain water collection systems and
communal composting latrines on the island. This summer Hope for Haiti provided a water filter
to every household in the village of Grand Sable. The water filters provide clean safe drinking
water to over 100 families. The filters are easy to use, maintain, and will last for over five years.
