Empowering Minds, Transforming Lives

About Us

We are on a mission to break the cycle of childhood poverty in Haitian communities through education, nutrition, and healthcare

Since our inception in 2017, we have served the needs of close to 2000 children through our mentorship and school education program.

Our annual toy distribution has been a joy for those who would not have received any holiday gifts. Our back-to-school drive has also been an annual event that brings awareness to the needs of school children.

We believe that every child deserves the right to a school education regardless of their origin or background. Ending illiteracy can help stop the cycle of poverty and stimulate the economy in underserved communities.

Eradicating childhood poverty is vital for breaking the cycle of poverty, improving educational outcomes, and enhancing health and well-being. It leads to long term economic benefits, social stability, and equity, while building stronger communities.

We want to ensure that every child has an opportunity to succeed, fostering a more prosperous and just society. Ensuring every child has the right to an education requires accessible schools, qualified teachers, and affordable education. It involves comprehensive support services like healthcare and nutrition, community engagement, and advocacy for policies that prioritize education and protect children’s rights.

Providing necessary infrastructure and resources, along with inclusive education for all children, including marginalized groups, is essential.
