Your holiday donation gives hope to people like Children’s Academy Pedagogy Director, Widlyne (pictured below). Despite gang violence that cost dozens of local lives this year, Widlyne honored the will of the community and kept The Children’s Academy open, creating a warm, loving environment where students felt safe and continued to learn and grow.

During this season of hope and compassion, we invite you to invest in valiant teachers, like Widlyne, as we strive to raise $100K $150K to keep this work going. It is an excellent time to do so because thanks to our Circle Fund donors and other major supporters:

• YOUR GIFT WILL BE MATCHED $1 FOR $1
• 100% OF DONATIONS WILL GO TO PROGRAMS

Thank you for providing hope to students, families, and communities in Haiti!

~ Merline & John Engle, Haiti Partners Co-Directors

I was trained as an educator to serve my country wherever duty calls. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made … I am honored to work at The Children’s Academy, where leaders are engaged in a more holistic approach to education.
