Guethie
Lumiere University
Medicine - Fully Funded!

Guethie has known for a long time that she would like to become a pediatrician, and through the support that she is receiving through the generosity of Thrive Ansanm donors, her dream is becoming a reality. She is now studying medicine at Lumiere University, and she has especially enjoyed the past year because she has been able to gain more practical experience through internships in her field. Her parents are both getting older, and neither of them has a consistent income, so she would never have been able to afford her education on her own, and she does not take this opportunity for granted. Reflecting back on her time in college so far, she said, “The education that I have received has made me see the world in a different fashion, especially in the area of health. I am going to take care of anyone who is sick. They will all be treated.”

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.
