La Pointe Haiti is home to thousands of people. Until 2016, most did not have an opportunity to go to school feeding the countries average of only 5% of Haitians graduating high school. But, with your help, local leaders were able to create a safe and nurturing space for kids to come and learn. There are now over 600 students enrolled, breaking cycles of generational poverty.
But, we have realized this is not enough - we must do more. Education is the foundation, but job creation is the next step. The dream of the local community is to create a vocational training school to supply the much needed skills for students, community members, and beyond
Can you imagine the lifeline this will produce?
People will no longer be forced to flee their homes in search of job opportunity
Kids can grow up in their families and not in orphanages
Financial pressures will be removed and replaced with growth and sustainability
