1. What do we do?
   Haiti Scholars is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization funded by donors whose mission is to provide educational assistance to students ages 3-11 years at Centre D’Etudes Lumiere in Mariani, Haiti. We currently support scholarships for the neediest children in the area. Our mission is to work in partnership with the teachers and staff to educate the “whole” child for all the students at the school by providing a solid education, emotional support, and proper nutrition. Striving to teach each child the fundamentals in math, reading, grammar, science, physical education, along with computer skills and English as a second language is critical in long term success. Our belief is that having the gift of education brings hope, self-esteem, and empowerment for a better future.

4. Why should I help Haiti children instead of US children?
   Children’s education should be prioritized all around the world, and although we realize that within the US, massive strides need to be made, we have the amazing ability to make huge changes for these immensely underprivileged kids. The lessons of empathy and care created through this opportunity is a lesson to pass onto our own children and own people here. This amazing and vibrant culture needs our support.
