Education forms the foundation of Hope for Haiti, for it is in educating the future generations that real hope for Haiti lies.
From our humble beginnings, we have expanded our assistance to include 37 Schools. Last year these schools educated over 12,000 students. This number though impressive barely scratches the surface of what is needed. For every school we are able to help, there are dozens more who request our assistance but whom we simply do not have the resources to help.
· 50% Do Not Attend Primary School
· 80% Do Not Attend Secondary School · 50% Illiteracy and 80% in the Countryside One of the most striking and positive facts that one sees in Haiti is the struggle of parents to provide an education for their children. Families will forego food to hopefully give their child a chance at a better future. Amidst the grinding poverty that is Haiti these parents like those all over the world are desperately trying to give their children a better life.
