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 200 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
deductible.

Generous donations have provided these youth
(pictured above) the resources to start a small
business that helps them and other youth pay the
costs of primary and secondary education. In their
free time they make artisan and craft work and sell
them to local boutiques.

Hope for Haiti started and supports multiple small-scale chicken production projects throughout the island of le-a-Vache. The
projects involve training local chicken breeders how to build durable chicken coops and incubators, proper breeding
techniques, vaccination methods, etc. Hope for Haiti is also preparing locations on the island to begin tilapia breeding ponds.
These sustainable projects provide families with food and income, and can be started with as little as $100.

Agriculture Program
Haiti is an agricultural based economy yet it is unable to produce enough food to feed it's own population. We are currently in
contact with Haitian agronomists in order to establish an agricultural program. This program will teach local farmers improved
farming and soil conservation techniques in order to increase crop production and quality.
