Our programs focus on long-term development, especially going to vocational school and attending our mini-center. Food, clothing and shelter are not addressed directly in this plan, but options for additional help are available. Cost: $25 per month. More about our programs.
“I had to give two of my four children to an orphanage. We are all sick in the house. We are almost starving. I would love to restart my business and learn cooking skills.” Minouche Jean
“I have been never to school. My mother died when I was yet a baby. I don’t know how to read and write. I don’t eat regularly. I eat once a day and 4 days a week. I would like to go to sewing school, and cooking school.” Venete Pierre
“I am a young girl: generous, capricious but I am a little bit shy. I am very honest. The situation is very bad for us. My mistake is that I had a baby at 17 years, and the father abandoned me since 3 months. I am very stressed and sometimes tears cannot stopping drying in my eyes.” Sonia Toussaint
“I have never been to school because my parents couldn’t afford it. Sometimes I spend two sometimes three days without eating solid food. I am a person who likes to share. I am helpful. I love my neighbors. I am honest, and affectionate.” Irene Louis
“Sometimes we pass two days without food. We just drink salty water and go to sleep. I am friendly, helpful. I love to share, and I am forgiving. I would like to be able to take good care of my family.” Viviane Hypolite
“There is not enough room for us to sleep. The house is very small, and it is close to a stinky ravine. The house leaks. At night, when it is raining, we have to wake up and stand up. I eat by chance. Once a day, four times a week. If I don’t find anybody that is willing to share his or food with me, my house spends the day with no food.” Marie Cherlyne Bercy
