Why Education Matters

Why Education Matters Title

Despite the immense challenges in Haiti, God’s faithfulness is evident in all the unexpected, both the good and the difficult. We have seen God sustain, transform, and move mightily in the midst of every situation. We have seen miracles of provision, safety, and hope in the darkest of times. This season is certainly unexpected, yet the Lord has sustained our staff and shown His faithfulness time and time again.

Today we wanted to update you and celebrate how students in Haiti have been able to continue their education in the midst of the hardest of circumstances.

35 of our PASFOME schools were operational for the school year, from September to now
The Sponsorship Team in Haiti continues to translate correspondence to sponsors
203 students are graduating from high school
420 students are taking national exams in July
100 girls attended Girls Empowerment training sessions and learned important lessons on harassment and how to say, “No.”

WHY DOES EDUCATION MATTER?

Reports show statistics like half of the armed gang members in Haiti are children—read that again, they are recruiting children. And not just being recruited, they are being exploited and abused.

Education is the bridge to opportunity. If that is erased, where will the next generation of Haitian leaders come from? Your support matters more than it ever has. Please consider sponsoring a student in Haiti for just $39 a month. When you sponsor a student, you are investing in their education and extending support for kids who desperately need hope and opportunity.

YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Please continue to pray for God to miraculously intervene, provide for our friends and neighbors in Haiti, and bring peace in the way only He can.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership and could not do this hard work without you. Together, we can continue to bring hope and transformation to the people of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Francenia’s Story: A Story of Resilience and Faith - Mission of Hope

By Mission of Hope • February 18, 2025

Francenia’s Story: A Story of Resilience and Faith Imagine fleeing your home country—not because you wanted to, but because you felt that you had no choice. This was Francenia’s* reality three years ago. A mother from Cabaret, Haiti, Francenia made the heartbreaking decision to leave everything she knew behind. Her home. Her community. Her roots. Gang violence had made staying impossible. She crossed into the Dominican Republic, uncertain of what the future held, but determined to protect her family. Francenia’s story is one of resilience and faith. She recalls the days when her children attended school at the Mission of Hope campus in Titanyen, Haiti, and the times she found care and compassion at our clinic there, too. Those moments brought hope and stability during difficult times. Yet,

Neika's Story of Hope - Mission of Hope

Neika's Story of Hope Neika, a student in one of the schools in our nutrition program, recently shared her story. "When my mom was pregnant with me, my dad left. My mom was always the one who took care of me. And then, in 2021, my mom died. I can still remember the day so clearly. I felt so hopeless when I lost my mom. I didn't know what would happen to me. My mom's cousin is a teacher, and she and her husband took me in to care for me. They put me in school. I thank God for them every day. Today, I am in the 6th grade! And I love school. Math is my favorite subject—it makes me feel smart when I can solve a problem. I also love getting to be with friends at school and eating lunch together. The food helps us focus, which is important—especially during exam time. One day, I dream of becomin
