#StandForEducation

In the fall of 2012, Help One Now, in conjunction with our local Haitian leaders, built Ferrier Village to help fight child trafficking.  Located in Ferrier, a small Haitian community near the Dominican border, the Village us currently home to 35 children being loved and cared for 24/7 by their 7 house mothers, a cook, and the 2 directors of Ferrier Village.  Furthermore, over a dozen children have been reunited with their families!

As part of our ongoing efforts to break the cycle of poverty, we are building a preschool at Ferrier Village.  This preschool will bring education to the children of Ferrier, which leads to more opportunity later in life.  Furthermore, the preschool gives parents a safe place to leave their children, allowing them more opportunity to find work and better provide for their families.  

Phase 5 — Cover 4 Preschool Teacher Salaries For One Year -- $10,000

Very few could argue that teachers everywhere are woefully underpaid, but in Haiti, many are not paid at all.  Paying our teachers a regular, living wage allows them to focus fully on their students.  The teachers will know that they are able to provide for their families.  This will bring stability and continuity to the classrooms, helping us to keep good teachers longterm.
