Building a Better Future Through Education

Progress begins with Haiti’s most promising youth

  • Growing up, Rodney had limited access to new ideas. Now he’s helping schoolchildren engage with the world at the library he started.

  • Passionate about teaching, Edwine wants to help disadvantaged children like the ones she taught at the community school through her service-learning project at HELP.

  • Nikelson was raised by a single mother; now he is a research economist at CHRAD and a network builder. His employer donates to HELP to say thank you for providing them with one of their best employees.

  • Even though Jovanie’s parents did not finish high school, she got her teacher’s license thanks to HELP. Now she is an education and content manager and attributes her success to her education at HELP.

  • Bessy’s parents couldn’t afford high school fees. Now, in order to contribute to changing the educational system, Bessy wants to train teachers using her YouTube channel.

  • Florenal was raised by a single mother; now he has a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology from SUNY Medical Center and currently teaches biology at Brooklyn College.
