In 2019, CanEducate was proud to announce an expansion to its fifth country through a new partnership with Help for Haiti, a charitable organization with a three-part mission to feed and educate children, and to support them until they have the employment skills to secure their future.

Help for Haiti was founded in 2010 and collaborates with donors, volunteers and strategic partners – like CanEducate – to provide meals and schooling to children from Kindergarten through Grade 10 within two schools in north Haiti.  Help for Haiti has provided ongoing support for these schools in the form of over 1.5 million meals for the students as well as payments to the teachers to ensure that the schools’ long-term sustainability. In alignment with one of CanEducate’s strategic focuses to support education among young women in impoverished countries, we are pleased that the balance of students in the population at the two sponsored schools in Haiti is 52% female and 48% male.
