Empower young adults to overcome poverty and build a brighter future for Haiti
You can help 100+ young men and women become contributing members of their communities through education, life skills training, community service, mentorship, and career development.
Back to school. Futures can’t wait.
All KCH students grew up in economic hardship, whether at an orphanage, homeless, or living in one of Haiti’s most challenging slums. Without a stable home, a diploma, a network, or work experience, it is almost impossible to emerge from poverty.
Because of last year’s medical emergencies and gang-driven evacuations, dozens of our students are at risk of losing everything: their education, housing, meals, and health care—unless they find a sponsor.
We can’t let that happen. Their futures are on the line, and we need your help today!
Right now, your impact can go twice as far. Thanks to a generous matching gift, every new sponsorship will be doubled for an entire year—meaning you’ll change the lives of two students instead of one.
Your sponsorship will be doubled for an entire year!
Saila’s health is in jeopardy
Saila is a quiet and determined young woman who is studying to become a medical lab technician. Despite growing up in extremely difficult circumstances, Saila has never stopped pursuing her dream of working in healthcare. But now her own health is in jeopardy.
Saila was diagnosed with erosive rheumatoid arthritis, a serious disease that, without treatment, will cause permanent disability and even life-threatening complications.
Her case is critical and she is at serious risk without urgent intervention.
Please help Saila and others like her receive the urgent, life-saving care they deserve.
At Kids Connection Haiti, we don’t just respond to emergencies, we work to prevent them. Every young person we serve receives an annual check-up to catch health issues early. We also provide hands-on health education workshops that teach students how to care for their bodies, prevent disease and make healthy choices for the future. For many, it’s the first time they’ve ever learned how to protect their health and that knowledge can mean the difference between a life of possibility or one cut short by preventable illness. This year, 46 students have received care through our medical program, with 11 facing severe or life-threatening conditions. Our medical expenses have already soared to 97% over budget, and the need is only growing. This is a crisis and we need your help.
