Help me raise money for Hope for Haitians to support education in Haiti.

I will be participating in the Fun Bun Run a 5K Walk/Run which raises funds to provide educational support for hundreds of children in Haiti every year. This event will be run/walked virtually between Sept 20-30, 2020.

This year we are also raising funds to build a school in Garde Saline, Haiti. Hope for Haitians is one of three organizations partnering together to make this a reality for the children of Garde Saline. Join us and make this year one to remember by supporting education for children in Haiti.

I invite you to join and/or sponsor my team.100% of every dollar donated to this event is used for providing education to the Haitian children.

About Hope for Haitians’ work in Haiti

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere:

  • 1 of every 14 infants dies before their first birthday
  • The average life expectancy is only 53 years
  • 80% of the working age population is unemployed
  • By 6th grade more than 50% of children do not go to school

Over the past 19 years, Hope for Haitians has built over 700 small homes in Haiti that have a concrete floor, cinder block walls, and a metal roof. Over 4,000 Haitians live in these homes that have been erected in 15 villages. Each village is also given a water well, livestock, fruit trees, and other means to generate food and provide overall sustainability for the village.

For the past eight years, Hope for Haitians has also provided the hundreds of children that live in our villages with school uniforms, books, lunches, and tuition so they could attend school and get an education to help them stop the cycle of poverty that is currently their life. Along with the funds to sponsor the education of children in the villages, this year we are raising funds to build a school in the village in Garde Saline, Haiti.
