Project Hope: Gift Match Campaign

So many children are on the waiting list to be sponsored. Each sponsorship changes a child’s life forever. A gift match will help motivate our donors to sponsor a child. They will know that their gift will be doubled for the first year (only) to help the school with needs and repairs.

Cost: $504/year to sponsor a child x 250 children = $108,000

The crumbling concrete roof at the school poses a serious safety risk to students and staff, as it could collapse or allow water damage during heavy rains. Repairing the roof ensures a secure and stable environment while protecting classrooms and resources from further deterioration. At the same time, installing a rooftop rainwater drainage system will provide a sustainable water source for the school, addressing a critical need for clean water to support hygiene, drinking, and other daily activities.
Cost: $50,000

Our schools continue to expand one class at a time until grades go from Kindergarten – High School. These schools need one additional classroom to be built:
Cazeau – 13th Grade
Dubuisson – 13th Grade
Hinche – 11th Grade
Pageste – 8th Grade
Cost: $80,000 ($20,000 per classroom)

Three schools need a solar system installed to harness renewable energy. Solar energy will provide power outlets and lights in each classroom and office. We have a trusted local contractor to do the work (was an HFHC student who received training and certification in this field).
Cost:
Cite Soleil (K-13th grades) New System – $15K
Dubuisson (K-12th) Repairs to System – $ 5K
Mirebalais (K-13th) New System – $20K

At the Thomazeau School, there are a few leaks due to damage to
the corrugated metal roof. Some sheets or wooden supports need
to be replaced, and the joints may require repairs.
Cost:$5,000

A computer lab with laptop computers is essential for high school students in Haiti to meet their required curriculum, which includes developing vital computer skills. This investment prepares students for a technology-driven world, equipping them with the digital literacy needed to succeed in higher education and the modern workforce.

Cost:$40,000
Four schools need computer labs and equipment (includes purchase of laptops, tables, chairs, power strips, etc.)

Schools have no to limited power during the school day. This 5,000-watt gas powered generator (portable) will enable each school to have electricity to power lights, fans, computers, a microphone and speaker, etc.

Cost:$3,000 per generator x 10 schools = $30,000

Three schools need a water purification system to provide clean water for the students to drink, to use to cook with, and for proper hygiene.
Cost:
Hinche School: Need an electric pump, tanks, and a water purification system $8,000

Dubuisson School: Needs the water purification system $5,000

Mirebalais School: Need an electric pump, tanks, and a water purification system $8,000

Installing a reliable rainwater harvesting system in Haiti’s schools is essential to provide a consistent and clean water supply for drinking, cooking, and sanitation, especially in areas where access to safe water is limited. Two remote mountaintop schools need to repair their cisterns that have cracks, need new covers, and repairs to pipes.

Cost:
Robert School Cistern: $6,000
Brajirois School Cistern: $6,000

The plastic PVC water pump at Pageste has been broken many times and is currently not working. Children must resort to harvesting water from a local river. We want to build a higher quality pump and build a secure pump house to help protect the pump from damage and vandalism, ensuring its longevity and providing a stable water source for years to come.
Cost: $10,000

To fight the ongoing hunger crisis, we aim to continue our summer lunch program and Vacation Bible School (VBS) for children in our 10 schools. Every Friday, children attend VBS at their local school, enjoy a cooked meal, and receive a bag of rice and beans to share with their families. During special events like the annual clinic, backpack distribution, or joy box distribution, we also strive to provide each child with a bag of food whenever funding allows.

Cost:
Summer Lunch Program: $140,000 (3,500 children x 10 weeks x $4 per week)
Periodic Food Distributions: $60,000 (Bag of rice and beans for students to take home after an event)

Throughout the year, children have medical needs that go beyond what a school nurse can address. Dr. Jean, Dr. Versailles, and two nurses work with HFHC to address medical issues when they arise.

Cost: $28,560 per year
Includes $900/mo for part-time physicians
$1050/mo full-time Nursing Administrator
$430/mo for part-time lab technician

We have a school nurse in each of our schools taking care of the needs for all of the children. In addition, they teach health and hygiene classes to help keep children healthy. They use an online system to track the health needs of the children.

Cost: $250 * 10 nurses * 12 months = $30,000 per year

Each year, the expenses for the 60 children living at the Cazeau Orphanage are over and above what we raise, resulting in an annual deficit of around $80,000. This will help us raise more funds for the basic needs of the children and prevent a shortfall.

In 2025, our top priorities are to replace:
• Mattresses
• Pillows
• Sheets
• Laundry Hampers
• Kitchen Pots & Pans
• Curtains
• Trash Cans
• Broken Floor Tiles

Cost: $80,000
