Sponsor a Church School

The two greatest needs of children in Haiti are food and education. According to a recent U.N. survey, there are now 217,000 Haitian children ages 6 to 59 months who suffer from acute malnutrition. The enrollment rate for primary school in Haiti is 57%, and fewer than 30% of the students reach 6th grade. Secondary schools enroll 20% of eligible-age children. Haiti’s literacy rate is 52.9%. Haiti ranks 177th out of 186 in the world for national spending on education.

Our ministry partner in Haiti, Société Chrétienne D'Haiti (SCH) operates eight church schools for children of the poorest of the poor in the communities of Calas, Desarmes, Desdunes, Drouin, L’Estere, Mapou Lagon, Saint Marc and Port-de-Paix.  School sponsorships enable these schools to provide vulnerable children a subsidized or free education and one nutritious meal each day.
