Several of our students were recently injured in an accident in Haiti. Near one of our schools a solar panel fell off a neighboring building and injured several children. All kids are okay but need intense medical attention.

Medical bills will likely be upwards of $30,000 for the injured children. We are seeking help from generous donors in support of these children and their families. Any amount donated will be a huge help. All funds will go straight to the support of the children and their medical care.

Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and build a future — but in Haiti, that chance is far from guaranteed.

Haitian Roots is a nonprofit organization committed to protecting and empowering Haitian children who lack access to quality education. We believe education is the most powerful tool to transform Haitian society — and for over 15 years, we have been proving it.

Today, our Haitian Roots Academies serve hundreds of children, keeping them safe from gang violence, providing them with meals, and equipping them with the knowledge to build a better life.

You can be part of that change. Visit haitianroots.org to learn more and donate today.

We are heartbroken to have lost two of our beloved teachers at our school. Makendy Nannou and Pierre Noel had been teaching since 2014 and were killed in Port-au-Prince on their way to school. The school, teachers, and students are mourning their loss.

Please visit our website and consider a donation. All donations made over the next week will go towards their funerals and supporting the school.

At Haitian Roots, our mission is to change Haiti’s future through education. Haitian children face considerable barriers to gaining an education due to high poverty rates and the lack of free public education. When you donate, you provide these children with an opportunity to overcome these challenges. Visit our website to learn more about our mission and consider making a donation!
