"I can do all this through Him who gives me strength" Phillippians 4:13
We’re often asked, ‘Why continue in Haiti?’ It’s a question born from the stark reality: violent gangs dominate the capital, children are tragically forced into their ranks, hunger is widespread, and schools are shuttered. Yet, even in the face of this overwhelming crisis, our conviction in the Haitian people’s resilience and potential remains unshaken—a promise that takes root in Haiti’s children.
It’s easy to see the despair, but what fuels our unwavering commitment? It’s the tangible difference we see every single day within our school walls. While the world outside may be in turmoil, Schools for Haiti stands firm – a beacon of stability in the eye of the storm. All ten of our schools remain safe havens, where learning continues uninterrupted. Every day, our students receive a nourishing lunch of fish, rice, beans, and vegetables, fueled by the power of our solar installations that ensure consistent electricity and internet access. Our students recently completed their second round of exams, demonstrating remarkable progress in their academic journey. Beyond the classroom, they flourish in after-school choir and express their creativity through vibrant artwork, some of which will be showcased at our upcoming galas.
Within our schools, hope blossoms, and lives are being transformed. This work, in the face of such overwhelming odds, is not possible through our own strength alone. It’s a testament to the truth of Philippians 4:13: ‘I can do all this through him who gives me strength.’ Every nourishing meal served, every lesson taught, every child’s smile is a reflection of God’s empowering presence, allowing us to be a light in the darkness. We invite you to join us in this mission, to be a part of the strength that sustains us, and to witness the remarkable things God is doing in Haiti.
