Give Hope to a Student in Haiti, Honor Someone Who Gave You Hope

DONATE IN HONOR OF SOMEONE SPECIAL
Each of us has experienced the power of hope through someone who has believed in us – a hero, optimist, parent, educator, or friend.
Dr. Rodrigue Mortel sparked hope in Haiti when he believed that every child deserves dignity, opportunity, and encouragement. His legacy of hope lives on in the students who walk through the school doors in Haiti every day.
This holiday season, we invite you to honor someone who inspired you, while providing hope and critical support to a student in Haiti.
How It Works
When you make a year-end gift, you can dedicate it to the person who gave YOU hope.
We’ll add their name and your message to our Wall of HOPE, a virtual gallery that celebrates the people who shaped our lives and continues to inspire students every day.
Your story becomes a reminder that despite occasional dark and challenging days, there is still a glimmer of hope that we can share.

Why Your Gift Matters More Than Ever
Families in Haiti continue to face political unrest, rising food costs, gang violence, and daily hardships that no child should ever endure.
Yet inside our schools, children receive:
- Daily nutritious meals
- Quality education
- A safe, structured environment
- Encouragement and emotional support
- A path toward a brighter future

Honor Your Hero. Change a Child’s Future.
This season, think about the person who lifted you, guided you, or believed in you.
Let’s celebrate them while extending that same hope to a student in Haiti.
When you give, you honor two people at once: the person who inspired you AND the child whose life you will transform.
