Backpack and School Supply Distribution
In August 2018, Hope and Change for Haiti proceeded with the distribution of 150 backpacks and school supply to children in two elementary schools in the municipality of Paillant, Haiti: 1) Ecole Communautaire de Viau, and 2) Ecole Mixte Bon Samaritain de Georges. Children received backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, sharpeners, erasers, crayons, rules etc… many other school supplies were given these school administrations. See video below.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to make this possible this year.

The Goat Project
One Goat For Education
Since its inception, Hope and Change for Haiti has supported two local elementary schools in rural Haiti, especially in the municipality of Paillant where we provide sponsorship for children, and distribute school supplies. While our supporters have facilitated the sponsorship program, we want to maintain financial sustainability and to contribute to the economic autonomy of the beneficiaries. Therefore, we seek to provide 200 goats to 200 children to ensure that these children‘s school fees won’t ever be a burden in the future.
With that project, our expectation is to eliminate the dependency of the child to the Organization while promoting the economic independence. Within the first year, the goat will multiply and the parent can sell a baby goat to pay the school tuition fees for the child.
