Haiti

H.E.L.P. student with her mother

After years of violence, Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. About 80% of the population lives on less than $2 a day. Poverty and ongoing unrest place children at risk of HIV/AIDS, crime, gang violence and drug trade. Over one-half million children are not going to school and an estimated 300,000 are forced to work as household servants.

The recent storms have impacted approximately 500,000 children attending 1,000 schools. Schools have been damaged or are being used as emergency shelters. The opening of the school year will be delayed by at least a month and many families have lost a significant portion of their resources and may be unable to pay school fees. Our partners are leading projects that will allow this generation of children to learn and grow up healthy and strong. You can help build education in Haiti back better than it was before the storms.
