Today, right now 679 Children in Haiti face losing their School.
For these peasant farm families, it is common that 100% of what they can earn in cash is used to buy food for the family. That leaves nothing for expenses that come from raising children. The Haitian government does what it can to meet the educational needs, but the reality is that the needs greatly exceed the resources available. Children in the more remote rural places have little opportunity to learn and grow into successful adults.
For more than 30 years Star of Hope has stepped in, assisting local communities and churches to meet this shortage of educational opportunity. Our friends in Scandinavia have been generous in their help. As you well know, prices of everything are on a relentless climb upward. Our current base of sponsors has simply not been able to keep up with these increased costs.
Star of Hope Haiti has made the difficult, but correct, decision that quality is of more value than quantity. They have chosen two schools that will lose our help in order to increase the assistance to the remaining 5 schools. 679 Children in Marigot and Bois Negresse will lose their access to education unless we step up and help. We can come together to solve this problem. Sponsors who help with a $30 monthly pledge ($360 yr) can keep one of these children in school.
Will you help us find 679 sponsors? You can be a sponsor or even help us find one or two. Just let us know and we can send you the information today.
The need is 679 sponsors. Right now we have 154. That means we still need 525. Please help. Let's keep these schools open.
