The children in Haiti start school annually in October.
We travel in a small delegation to Haiti to personally enroll the children in the program, hand over the money, and ensure that everything goes smoothly and that the school fees are received in the right place. On-site, we have Haitian helpers who regularly monitor throughout the entire school year whether the school children from our aid program actually attend school.
Every year after our trip, we send our donors - including your child who takes on a sponsorship - our travel report with a small letter or a drawing from their sponsored child. Primary school in Haiti lasts six years. After the sixth grade, the child leaves our program so that we can accept new first graders again. The sponsorship then ends or, upon request, transitions into sponsorship for a new schoolchild.
