 Fact:
45% of the Haitian population is illiterate,
perpetuating a cycle of poverty
Response: Break the cycle through our
innovative Child Sponsorship program.
This program provides an
opportunity for children and their families to pay for
their schooling, including the cost of tuition, uniform,
and materials.
Children participate in a program that teaches good
farming practices and they are introduced to Jesus
Christ through Bible stories. Children are given
seedlings throughout the program. The income
generated from the sale of fruits and vegetables from
these seedlings, if
managed properly, will produce enough income to fund
their education through 12th grade and beyond. These
fruits and vegetables can also provide nourishment for
their family. |
Poverty reduction can be achieved through literacy.
With our Child Sponsorship program we aim to improve the
lives of the next generation of Haitians and help them
avoid the pitfalls that have plagued their ancestors. To
date over 900 children have participated in our Child
Sponsorship program.
