How to help Haiti educate their children - Home

Friends of Borgne

A hundred years from now

it will not matter what my bank account was,

the sort of house I lived in,

or the kind of car I drove.

But the world may be different

because I was important in the life of a child.

ACTIVE PROJECTS

Sponsoring Children’s Education with the Fondasyon Dauphin

Education in Haiti is not free. We support children from the most vulnerable families in Borgne with the tuition, books, uniforms and school supplies needed for an education.

Food Program for the Children of the Fondasyon Dauphin

Healthy brains need good nutrition. We support the skilled cooks at the Fondasyon Dauphin to provide a healthy daily meal to make sure our students are ready to learn.

Teacher Subsidies

By helping schools pay teacher salaries, they are able to lower tuition for all students, and teachers have consistent, guaranteed income to support their own families.
