About Schools for Haiti
It’s amazing to realize that we have begun our 18th school year. God has taken Schools for Haiti such a long way since we began with one kindergarten class of 12 students in 2006. This year Schools for Haiti is supporting approximately 2,000 students in ten schools with a quality education, a hot nutritious lunch and a breakfast snack every school day.
We need your help to keep this going!
Schools for Haiti is making a difference in the lives of our students who will make a difference in the future of Haiti. Schools for Haiti is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization registered with the Internal Revenue Service and the state of Florida.
It is our hope that more people will become involved and support our schools as we continue to educate and feed the children of Haiti. We firmly believe that we are making a difference in the lives of students who will make a difference in the future of Haiti.
