Ansly
Children's Academy
Grade 8

Ansly has been in our program for a few years now. He is being raised by his single mother who has no consistent employment, so she is struggling to make ends meet. Without the support he has received through Thrive Ansanm, he would not be where he is at today. Ansly is a fun-loving, outgoing, and funny boy who likes to be out in the neighborhood with his friends and playing soccer. He is a huge fan of Black Panther because he’s a “really strong superhero.” He loves school, and his favorite subject is science/technology. He is very interested in learning more about computers. He wants to start learning English and become a doctor when he grows up.

Education

Education is a step toward a brighter future. However, most families struggle to afford to send their kids to school. When a student is supported through Thrive Ansanm, we cover the cost of their tuition and other school costs, so they can stay in school and succeed.

Technology

Digital access creates opportunity and connection. Most Haitian students don’t have a computer or high-speed internet, but at our resource center local students can access laptops, high-speed internet, and consistent electricity, so they won’t get left behind in today’s digital world.

Mentoring

Mentoring develops the leaders of tomorrow. We match university students with personal mentors who who provide guidance from their experience. These mentors are qualified professionals from the local community, so they understand the unique challenges confronting Haitian students.
