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 Give toward this project!

Thanks to generous donations we have received $10,000 towards this project!

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:

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.

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

Cost:$40,000 Give toward this project!

Three schools do not have doors for many of their classrooms. This hampers privacy, invites noise, and leaves the materials not safe to be left in the classroom. We would like to put metal doors on these classrooms to increase security and provide privacy for students.

Cost: $250 per door = $4,500

Cazeau (6 doors) = $1,500 Give toward this project!

Cite Soleil (5 doors) = $1,250 Give toward this project!

Hinche (7 doors) = $1,750 Give toward this project!

Classrooms have one window at best in their classroom. This causes the sun to heat up the room and there is little to no airflow. A heavy-duty wall-mounted fan or a floor fan will greatly enhance their comfort level and learning ability.

Cost: Fans in every classroom in 10 schools = $10,000 Give toward this project!

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 Give toward this project!

Each year the students in Haiti need new, durable benches and desks to replace the ones that break down each year due to heavy daily use by large numbers of children. Investing in strong desks and benches creates a more stable and comfortable learning environment, ensuring students can focus on their studies and thrive academically.

Cost:$25,000 for 200 benches in 9 schools ($125 each) Give toward this project!

Most teachers do not have their own desk to use in the classroom. They sit at a small chair with a little table or share space with the students. They would each love to have their own desk with a cabinet where they could store their materials.

Cost:$200 per desk for 9 schools = $25,200 Give toward this project!

We are committed to training and equipping our educators through professional development opportunities each year. This year, we want to invest in local teacher training programs at each school.

Cost: $6,000 for training programs held at local schools (includes materials, fees for course, transportation, food) Give toward this project!

Thanks to generous donations we have received $1,600 towards this project!

A teacher workroom in Haiti is vital as it provides educators with a dedicated space to plan lessons, collaborate with colleagues, and store valuable resources. Without such a space, teachers struggle to prepare effectively, often working in isolation and under challenging conditions. A well-equipped workroom fosters teamwork, creativity, and efficiency, ultimately enhancing the quality of education for students.

Cost: These schools do not have the furniture they need in their workrooms

Pageste: Need Furniture $3,000 Give toward this project!
Thomazeau: Need Furniture $3,000 Give toward this project!

Brajirois School Cistern: $6,000 Give toward this project!

Robert School Cistern: $6,000 Give toward this project!

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 Give toward this project!

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: $200,000 Give toward this project!
– 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.

The latrine at the Pageste school in Haiti has broken down and is no longer usable, creating sanitation challenges for students and staff. To address this, we need to dig new holes and construct a new latrine building, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment for everyone at the school.

Cost: $8,000 Give toward this project!

Many Haitian children suffer from untreated vision and dental issues due to a lack of access to doctors, which impacts their ability to learn, eat comfortably, and maintain overall health. Providing them with vision and dental care not only addresses immediate health concerns but also improves their quality of life, enabling them to thrive in school and daily activities.

Cost: $10,000 to cover the cost of exams, glasses, and medicine

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 Give toward this project!

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.

Cost: $80,000

In 2025, our top priorities are to replace:
• Bedrooms: Laundry Hampers, Curtains Give toward this project!

• Bedding: Mattresses, Pillows, Sheets Give toward this project!

• Kitchen: Pots & Pans Give toward this project!

• Facilities: Broken Floor Tiles Give toward this project!

All older children at the orphanage have the opportunity to learn how to sew. Teaching them to sew is a vital way to equip them with a valuable skill that can provide income and independence as they grow older. By learning to create and mend clothing, they gain a practical trade that will help them build a more secure and self-sufficient future.

Cost: $10,000 Give toward this project!
(New Sewing Machines, sewing tables, supplies for the year, and a teacher)

At our orphanage, we are training the children to care for animals and how to garden. These projects are established but need ongoing funds to feed and properly care for the animals and gardens. It is our goal that one day, our children will be able to use these skills as they provide for their own families.

Cost: $10,000 Give toward this project!

Once children leave the orphanage at the age of 18 or complete high school, we provide an opportunity for them to enroll in courses to gain a skill and/or be certified in a profession (1–2-year programs). Some children are trained in nursing, solar technology, plumbing, electrical work, construction, etc. This program is called Promising Adult Continued Education Training (PACES). We seek sponsors to support students individually or those who give to this fund to help any student who qualifies.

Cost: $10,000 annually Give toward this project!
includes registration fees, tuition, supplies, transportation, uniform.

Providing orphanage security guards with their own separate bathroom and shower ensures their privacy and maintains proper boundaries between staff and the children. This setup promotes a safe and professional environment while also respecting the dignity and needs of both the guards and the children.

Cost: $10,000 Give toward this project!
Build a separate bathroom in an area away from the orphanage boundaries where the children live and play.
