Although public education is free in Haiti, the cost is still quite high for Haitian families who must pay for uniforms, textbooks and supplies. Due to weak state provision of education services, private and parochial schools account for about 90% of primary schools, and only 65% of primary school-aged children are actually enrolled. At the secondary level, the figure drops to around 20%. Less than 35% of those who enter will complete primary school. Although Haitians place a high value on education, few can afford to send their children to secondary school.

Children of the Promise is in Haiti because we believe God has a purpose and promise for every Haitian child. School sponsorship provides the opportunity for some of these children to attend school. These are children that are already connected to Children of the Promise. Some of them are children who lived here as infants and were able to be reunited with their biological families, others are older siblings of children that stayed with us, and some are related to our employees.  Your monthly contribution covers the cost of tuition, books, and their uniform. Some Haitian schools also provide much needed meals for all who attend. For some of these kids, having a sponsor is their only chance to receive an education. We currently have 97 children in our school sponsorship program. We are blessed to have sponsors for most of our children. If you are interested in sponsoring one of our children for the next school year please contact cotpdirector@gmail.com us for more information. Thank you for providing this opportunity to a child in Haiti!
