Haitian Roots - Supporting Haiti's Children Through Education
Haiti has an unemployment rate of over 60 percent. It has been estimated that 90 percent of the population lives on less than $100 a year. With the cost of public schooling at about $250 per child each year, education is a luxury many children just cannot afford.
Without access to even a basic education, Haiti's children are trapped in a cycle of poverty that has plagued the country for generations. We realize that one effective way to break this cycle is through education. For $250 a year, we are able to send a child to
their local school and provide proper school uniforms and books when needed. At Haitian Roots, we believe the old Chinese proverb that says, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Please join us in
supporting Haiti's children and make a donation today!
