Help us reach our goal of $25,000 by Dec. 31st

Please, take part in the empowerment of a Haitian mountaintop village that literally has everything stacked against it. Join us for this exciting time in our nonprofit's life. We are able to help more people than ever! As we empower our friends in Piton, they are reaching out and helping others who need a safe place to live after being displaced from their homes in larger cities.

As you know, the country of Haiti is embroiled in chaos with no effective governing body. Our little village of Piton and neighboring Piton West has become a refuge for families fleeing the violence in Port-au-Prince. This has resulted in a 100% or more increase in the population of the villages and roughly a 60% increase in school enrollment.

What do we do?

1) Education

Education is where we place the largest portion of Piton Partnership's resources. We support the school through:

a lunch program (often the only hot meal students receive all day),
a student sponsorship program (to provide books, uniforms, etc.),
and salaries for our 8 teachers, custodian, and security guard.

The Piton Community School is so much more than just a school. Other programs launched by its leadership include:

education for students and adults on farming techniques and agriculture in general (The entirety of Piton Mountain is home to multiple agrarian communities),
community gardens that benefit everyone,
summer programs to keep youth engaged (the gangs in Haiti are recruiting an alarming number of children as fighters or slaves),
breeding programs for rabbits & goats,
coffee enterprise to sell in the markets.

2) Medical Clinic

Piton Partnership also provides a medical clinic with two local nurses to serve the villages. The closest hospitals are over an hour away and they are no longer dependable for care due to gang infiltration. Even if they were functional & dependable, the journey there is fraught with the potential for violence. Our medical clinic is busier now than ever and we are in dire need of dependable funding for basic medications.

3) Clean water and solar energy

Clean water is as important as nutrition for good health. Our combination generator/solar array/pumping/filtration system keeps clean water available for the villagers and the school. The solar array has provided first-ever electricity to the school since 2019.

Your Generosity

Our donors are extraordinarily generous. In 2024, American individual givers gave an average of $937 across all subsectors. Piton Partnership givers averaged a whopping $2731! You are amazing and with your help we have done amazing things.

In 2025 alone, we:

Sponsored at least 50 students
Conducted approximately 6,240 medical clinic visits
Increased the rabbit production program
Served roughly 16,700 meals in our school
Acquired satellite internet
and finally, ongoing recovery from a hurricane.

Blessings on all your holiday activities and Merry Christmas!
