Peter
Mondy Elementary School
Grade 6

Peter lives with his mother and 5 siblings in a very poor neighborhood in the Carrefour district of Port-au-Prince. Ever since his family lost their home in the 2010 Earthquake, they have lived in extreme poverty, struggling to survive. Neither of his parents are employed, so they could never afford to send Peter to school, so we accepted him into the program in 2020, and through the support of generous donors, we were able to build his family a home and keep him in school. Thus, despite his difficult circumstances, he has hope for a brighter future.

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.
