My "Why"

I am a friend of Haiti In My Heart because of John White! I met him when he was just a little Haitian guy- before he started school in his new home; Kelowna. His Canadian mother, Louise, is one determined woman! Not only Have John's mom and dad provided for him, but they built the charity "Haiti In my Heart" over the ensuing 14 years, with its school for hundreds of Haitian children! Institute Mixte Remax has been a lifeline for these children, relieving them from hunger and offering an education that has provided the foundation of their future...a hopefully a brighter future for Haiti!

Description

Help end devastating poverty in Haiti.  Become a Child's Champion!

There is massive potential in Haiti’s youth.   70% of the population is under the age of 35.   These are the country’s leaders, professionals, teachers, skilled trades people, agriculturalists, engineers, healthcare professionals and workers - future mothers and fathers.

The waste of human capital is one of the primary sources of instability in Haiti over the last 50 years, making it difficult for the economy to grow and ensure the social progress Haiti needs.  The events in Haiti in recent years (the gang blockade of the seaport in September 2022 and take over 80% of Port au Prince in March 2024) are a direct result of the lack of investment in Haiti’s primary human capital.

For nearly 15 years, Haiti in My Heart has educated 300 children annually, aged 3-18 years, to build this human capital.  The school's annual student retention rate is 90%+, with a 90% pass rate of the Grade 9 students completing their government exams.

When you donate to Haiti in My Heart, you change lives!


With your support, we can continue to provide access to education, end malnutrition, and help children in Haiti realize their dreams.

Thank you for helping to build a world where ALL children can learn, play, and grow!
