Sponsor Your Child

Feeling of Hopelessness

The need is great!  ​The state of education in Haiti:
  • 50% of Haiti’s 8 million people are under the age of 25
  • Only 55% of school age children receive an education
  • Only 2% will finish the US equivalent of high school
  • Roughly 1/3 of youth between ages 15-24 are illiterate

The cost of education in Haiti is high and inaccessible to the average Haitian. The state provision for educational services is weak.  Private and parochial schools account for about 90% of primary schools. Although Haitians place a high value on education, few can afford to send their children.  In Haiti’s overall development, education remains a key obstacle to economic and social advancement.​

Providing Hope

Hope for Kidz is a child sponsorship program founded by Reciprocal Ministries International (RMI) in 1999 to meet the educational and physical needs of Haitian children. RMI partners with schools that are part of the Evangelical Baptist Mission of Southern Haiti (MEBSH). MEBSH schools typically cover grades K-9. Children are chosen for sponsorship based on financial need.​

Benefits to a Sponsored Child

  • Quality education with Christian world view
  • School supplies are provided
  • Hot lunch program improves their health and ability to learn ~ currently feeding over 10,000 children in qualifying schools 
  • Community Health Training Program includes annual de-worming and prevention education
  • Emergency Major Medical Fund for sponsored children​​

Benefits to Sponsors

  • ​Ability to spread sponsorship payment out over a full year via the monthly plan
  • Opportunity to send and receive 1-2 letters per year to their child. 
  • Additional opportunities for interaction with their sponsored child are continuing to be examined and evaluated for possible future implementation
​
A Haitian Proverb states that “Hope gives man the reason to live”.  The Hope for Kidz program is providing HOPE today for Haiti’s tomorrow!
