Trade School Scholarship Program
Fund a scholarship program for Haitian students to attend trade schools in Haiti.
Specifics
The program will offer students the ability to study at trade schools and train for careers as electricians, plumbers, agronomists, nurses, masons, mechanics, seamstresses and cooks. After graduating, this would allow them to find work opportunities in their own communities, providing needed skills and services, supporting themselves and their families.
Sponsorship
We are looking for partners to commit to 1 to 4 years supporting a student through their training.
We are creating more opportunities for students to build competence and have meaningful careers. We will match each donor with a student, creating a relationship which consists not only of financial backing but also encouragement and support. We will facilitate the connection by providing updates from students to you as they progress.
One Year Programs - $500 annually
Two Year Programs - $500 annually
Four Year Programs - $1000 annually
Past Success Stories
With an emphasis on respect, honor, and integrity, we deeply value helping students achieve their professional goals. One such example is Jimmy Cesar. Initially a student in our primary school, we supported him through secondary school. From there he successfully completed dental school, and is returning to the village to care for the dental health of his community. (Sponsor: David Schwartz).
Another student from our primary school, Benoit Profelus, is an artist who always aspired to teach his craft. We recently built an art school and studio where Benoit is pursuing his dream, teaching children and teens how to paint, while also creating a safe place for young people to learn and gain a sense of accomplishment.
