One of the ways Haiti Partners supports our work is through grants from like-minded foundations and organizations. Recently, in response to a final grant report, one of our grantors sent a very thoughtful and detailed reply. With their permission, we’ve decided to share a portion of it below. While we are, of course, thrilled to receive such generous recognition, we share this here to give others in our supporter network a sense of the level of engagement and dialogue we aim for when partnering with grantors and major donors.
The program supported through by this grantor is The Student Wellness Program. You can learn more about The Student Wellness Program here.
If you are interested in becoming a grantor or major supporter of Haiti Partners, or if you have leads you think we should look into, please reach out to us here.
Thank you for your thoughtful and comprehensive final report on the Student Wellness Program… I read it with a deep sense of admiration and gratitude.
It is an extraordinary – exceptional – accomplishment that your team was able to sustain school operations more than 90 percent of the time amid such acute national instability in Haiti.
What you have accomplished, ensuring student health and attendance, responding to urgent medical needs, caring for special needs children with
dignity, and providing consistent emotional and nutritional support, is a powerful testament to your courage, creativity and relentless commitment to the well-being of every student and staff member at ADECA [i.e. The Children’s Academy].
In a climate where education in Haiti is increasingly under siege (as I am too well aware), Haiti Partners’ work stands as a beacon of hope. The way you have used every dollar of the … grant to support direct care embodies precisely the kind of grassroots leadership and accountability we aim to support.
I am sure the team will appreciate especially the insights you shared in your “Lessons Learned” section. Your emphasis on early intervention, the integration of staff wellness, and the transformative value of preventive education shows both strategic foresight and a deep understanding of what sustainable, holistic support looks like in the current context.
