Today, Haiti remains unstable and its educational system has been greatly impacted by past violence and recent earthquakes. A nationwide assessment conducted in March 2004 showed that the political conflict in Haiti has had a severe impact on Haiti’s children, particularly the most vulnerable. That is why we have established this School Sponsorship Program.

Primary school enrollment is also dropping due to economic factors. 60% of rural households suffer from chronic food insecurity, and food must come before education.

With an adult illiteracy rate of 52% (48% of males are illiterate and 52.2% of females are illiterate), education remains a key obstacle to economic and social advancement in Haiti.

Over half of the nation's children fail to reach the fifth grade. And only one in five young people reach secondary school

"Haiti's educational system has utterly failed for as many as half of that nation's children," Sheldon Shaeffer, chief of UNICEF's Education Section, said.

Our vision is to raise up Godly leaders in Haiti through health and education to strengthen their families, communities and country; bringing relief of poverty and stimulating the economy; and to preach the Gospel so that lives will be saved and transformed for the betterment of Haiti.
