Roughly 50 percent of children in Haiti do not attend school.  For those who do, it is often pricy.  And for those who live in rural Haiti, the nearest school may be miles away on foot.

Northwest Haiti Christian Mission believes in empowering children in Jesus’ name, that they may grow into fulfilled adults spiritually, mentally and physically.  Essential to that end is making sure they have access to quality education.

NWHCM’s growing education network currently includes a dozen primary schools in towns across the Northwest, enrolling more than 2,000 students.  We heavily subsidize the education of every student and, for many of them, provide free school lunches.

Quick Facts

• Roughly half of Haitians are illiterate, especially in rural areas like the Northwest.
• 80 percent of Haitian children who attend school attend private schools.
• Haiti’s per capita GDP is $480 (US) a year, and school fees are prohibitively expensive at an estimated $70 – $80 dollars a year per child.

How Northwest Haiti Christian Mission is Helping

NWHCM schools target the lowest-income students in a community, offering them classes and Christian teaching from pre-school to the sixth grade.  We provide an education that sharpens young minds and encourages young souls in discipleship and their faith.

Our school in Saint-Louis du Nord also offers classes for deaf and blind children.  Since all our classrooms are staffed by Haitian teachers, the schools provide valuable jobs to Haitians in a region where most people are unemployed.

We also combat malnutrition and hunger through our schools.  More than a thousand children receive daily meals in our school-lunch program - without which, many would eat almost nothing.

How You Can Help

All of our school children are funded through sponsorships by people like you.  For less than a dollar a day, you can offer a child the hope of a bright future by providing him or her with an education – something that millions of Haitians can only dream of.  In doing so, you’ll demonstrate to them that Christ loves them enough to feed their mind, body and soul.
