Pay it forward…

Our sponsorship campaign invites you, as well as your family and friends to support Haitian student’s education for one school year.     
FACT:  In Haiti, over 50% of primary school age children are not enrolled in school. One-third of girls over six never go to school. And, more than 50% of children attending school are over-aged  (UNCIF, 2009).

This project will pay for school fees for a minimum of 50 primary and secondary school aged Haitian children for one school year.

HOW DOES SPONSORSHIP HELP?
As a sponsor, you will help provide a child with access to education.  Research reveals that a significant percentage of primary aged children are not in school.  Your gift will help a child fulfill a dream to learn and inspire them to reach their full potential.
 
HOW DOES SPONSORSHIP WORK?
Partners for Life will partner with primary and secondary schools across Haiti paying for school fees for a minimum of one year.  We will sponsor disadvantaged children, expressly children that have little to no access to education.
