In the coming weeks, most US Americans will be receiving their stimulus checks as part of the CARES Act. For many people, these checks simply couldn’t come soon enough.
But for some, this will be an opportunity to help others in need, locally and around the world.
Louverture Cleary School Principal Marjorie M. (LCS '07) with class
The Haitian government does not have the means to send stimulus checks to its citizens. In many ways, The Haitian Project is the "stimulus program" for our 89 teachers and staff in Haiti who are the ones who will be welcoming our 360 students back when schools re-open again.
And with 25 percent of our graduates going on to study medicine in Haiti, the imperative of our mission has never been more clear.
If you are fortunate enough to be able to do so, we hope you will consider giving a portion of your stimulus check to those in need—whether that’s locally or in Haiti.
A Note from The Haitian Project
We understand that these are challenging times and that many people are confronted with significant hardships.
But this is precisely why we still have to ask and pray that those who can give, will. Our teachers and staff in Haiti rely on our support; and we are going to be there for our 360 students when schools re-open again. Thank you for your consideration and understanding. Please stay safe and healthy!
