Mission

The primary mission is to support a school in Gonaives, Haiti. We pay teachers, security staff and kitchen staff and supply necessary materials for classes, hot meals every day and school uniforms. We have incrementally expanded our classes to include K1-K3, Elementary and High School (through grade 12). We have a nursing program for student and family health care and are using the school for some adult and community improvement classes.

Operations: Paying the staff (teachers, kitchen and security). We supply a hot meal everyday to students and try to make sufficient quantities to feed any neighbor who brings their own bowls. This is a critical effort in times of weather emergencies. We supply uniforms, study materials and other supplies for the students. We are finding used computers and other technical items for the students to learn repairs and understand those technologies. Our sewing program is in place for older girls and women to learn and use for small business efforts. We are teaching auto mechanics to men and older boys for self help. We have a nursing program to provide students with health care and this is open to the community for small fees. We have self help supplies for community housing improvement projects. We have a garden project to teach those skills and provide food for the school. We do pay our Directors salary and related expenses. Travel has been much lower due to COVID and political unrest. This category also includes administrative expenses such as wire transfer and bank fees.
