Haiti Scholars is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization funded by donors whose mission is to provide educational assistance to students ages 3-11 years at Centre D’Etudes Lumiere in Mariani, Haiti. We currently support scholarships for the neediest children in the area.
Our mission is to work in partnership with the teachers and staff to educate the “whole” child for all the students at the school by providing a solid education, emotional support, and proper nutrition.
Striving to teach each child the fundamentals in math, reading, grammar, science and physical education along with computer skills and English as a second language is critical to supporting long-term success.
Our belief is that having the gift of education brings hope, self-esteem, and empowerment for a better future.
