Real stories from Northern Haiti — what we see, what we believe, and why we keep showing up every single day.
Only 1 in 2 Haitian children completes primary school — not because they don't want to learn, but because they can't afford the fees. Here's why every dollar invested in education in Haiti multiplies across generations, and what we've seen happen when children are simply given the chance to sit in a classroom.
We crossed the 50,000-meal milestone this year — and we almost didn't make it there. This is the story behind our school meals program: the kitchen team who shows up before sunrise, the supply chain disruptions we've navigated, and why feeding a child is an act of theology, not just charity.
Four graduating classes. Dozens of trained pastors. Communities across Northern Haiti now have church leaders who were not there five years ago. The Institut Théologique de la Grâce is producing the kind of leaders Haiti needs most — rooted in scripture, embedded in community, and unwilling to quit.
$12.50 a month. That's what it costs to keep one child in our school — meals, teacher salary contribution, supplies, and a safe space to learn. We break down exactly where the money goes, why Haiti's education system fails so many, and why we believe this is the most high-leverage investment a donor can make in a human life.
We took our students to see the Citadelle Laferrière — one of the great architectural wonders of the Americas, built by formerly enslaved Haitians who had just won their freedom. For many of these children, it was the first time they had left their neighborhood. What we saw on their faces is something we'll carry for the rest of our lives.
A one-time $100 gift is wonderful. But a recurring $15 monthly gift is what keeps a school kitchen running on a Tuesday when nothing else is going right. We explain the difference consistent funding makes to a small nonprofit working in a volatile environment — and why 30 monthly donors can do more than one large check.
