ABOUT THIS PROJECT
In Haiti, LWCF supports nutrition and education needs at two schools and one orphanage:
Eagle (Aigle) School is a preschool and elementary school in the southern coastal town of Jacmel. Fanel Leme, the school’s director, uses a sliding scale for tuition, and children who would otherwise not be in school are getting a solid foundation as they begin their education. LWCF has helped Eagle School with school supplies, teacher stipends, and educational materials.
L’École Rivage has over 200 students enrolled, many of whom have lost one parent, and all of whom live in poverty. Many of these children have no other opportunities to receive an education.
Maison Rose is an orphanage housing over 20 children. LWCF partnered with Maison Rose in 2024 to provide support for the orphanage and it’s children.
All three locations also have a sponsorship program. To learn more and become a sponsor, visit our Haiti Sponsorship page.
