Sterline lives in Jeremie with her parents and 4 younger siblings. Having graduated from high school last year, she is determined to get her college degree, so she can one day become a teacher, but her family can’t afford it. Inflation is very severe in Haiti and wages are low, so her father’s income as a small farmer is barely enough to pay rent and keep food on the table. If there is anything left over, it goes to put her younger siblings through school. However, Sterline is an especially intelligent young woman, and her father shares with pride how she always loved school and received good grades. Her ultimate goal is to get her master’s degree in education so that she can teach at the high school or university level. Not only is she passionate about education, but she speaks English, and she is already teaching English to children at a local school. Your support will enable her to attend university so that she can achieve her dream and invest in more young people in the future.

Education

Education is an essential step toward overcoming poverty. Yet 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, books, uniforms, food, and transportation, so they can stay in school and excel.

Mentoring

The support of a caring mentor can make all the difference. Our mentors truly care about the students, and they provide much-needed guidance and support. This is especially important for young people living in poverty because often their parents never received an education themselves.

Resources

Resources are the tools that are needed to succeed. In Haiti, most people don’t have access to consistent electricity, and they live in inadequate housing conditions. At our resource center, students can study, connect with their mentors, and access computers and internet.

Where does your money go?

School Costs

When you support a student, we commit to keeping that student in school. This means that we cover the student’s tuition and help with other necessities such as books, uniforms, food, and transportation.

Programs

Once the student’s school costs are covered, we invest the majority of the remaining money in our programs. This includes staff/mentor wages, resource center rent, student activities, and other such essential program expenses.

Fundraising / Administration

We reserve a small portion of the money you donate toward a student to help with our fundraising efforts, keep the lights on, and make sure our program is running smoothly.
