History of FORGOTTEN CHILDREN's involvement in Haiti

FORGOTTEN CHILDREN worked for a couple of years in collaboration with local grassroots organizations in Gonaives. The mother-daughter project helped a girl to go to school and a mother to improve her meager income.

Le plateau Javel (near Miragoane)
The school

L'ecole primaire de Javel was in need of help. There were four classes in two rooms. Each room was divided in two classes (without wall). On one side there was a teacher and a board, on the other side of the classroom, there was another teacher and a board. About 60 children were squeezed on benches in each room. There was no electricity or water on the grounds.

The mothers

They waited for us. They walked for hours and put on their best clothes. These women worked in the field and went once a week to market to sell their products. It took them 5 hours one way! Our interest-free loans allowed them to improve their income.

Haiti is a forgotten country and is in need of help.

FORGOTTEN CHILDREN is an IRS 501(c)(3) approved tax deductible charity #54-1716373.
