Haiti is a beautiful place with resilient people and rich culture. The first Black-led republic to declare their freedom and independence from their colonizer. Although free and independent today, Haiti has struggled to sustain socio-economic stability due to political complexities and natural disasters. Infrastructure has barely been rebuilt since the last earthquake. Orchestrated crime and violence continues to disrupt the daily life of individuals trying to make an income or get an education. Jean Paul Sartre College is a school in Aquin in need of resources to adequately support their students.

Contributions will go toward the following:

School Supplies

Basic school supplies are needed such as the following: pens, pencils, pencil sharpener, markers, highlighters, paper, notebooks, and backpacks
