Free public education is something most of us take for granted. But in Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, private schools are the only schools and very few families can afford even the most modest tuition.

The Haiti Education Foundation (HEF) is the result of one woman's effort to make a difference in the lives of the children of Haiti.

In a nation as devastated as Haiti, it is difficult to decide where to begin to offer help. But education is the one gift that multiplies in the sharing.

For barely more than pocket change, you can help a Haitian girl or boy read, write, master a trade, and study God's Word. Your gift will purchase hope for a child, a family, a school, a village and a country.

HEF changes the life of every child who participates. With your help in keeping these schools open, the history of Haiti will be changed!

HEF Striving to Meet the Needs of Students
Nutrition Program

Following the storms of the 2008 hurricane season, many in Haiti continue to suffer. Families are still dealing with the loss of livestock and gardens, along with the difficult economic situation in Haiti, which has put an added strain on the adults and children. Because times are difficult and it is very hard to concentrate on learning when hungry, we are striving to improve our Nutrition Program.

The Episcopal priests in charge of our HEF schools have established that for .25 cents per day, a Haitian child can be fed a nutritious meal…that is only $5.00 per month or $60.00 per year. We have often seen the children eat what they want and then pass the rest to a parent waiting outside with a younger child. The affects of this Nutrition Program are far reaching!
