We are middle class. My mom ended up picking up an extra job specifically for this reason.

The school is growing, more students, and that's a good thing. But that means the needs have also increased. We have reached out to some other Nonprofits for assistance, which seems to be a very long process.

If anybody would like to contribute anything - ANYTHING (food, clothes, books[[preferably in French]], other resources. Please let me know.

Also, if there's a better subreddit I should have posted this to, I'd like to know that as well.

Thank you.

Nobody is charged anything. They wouldn't be able to afford it.

Currently on mobile but ill try to address all your concerns.

Our EIN is 45-5611617 Our fb page can use a whole lot more work. Our website too.

The people in that town cannot afford to pay tuition. Even with the free tuition they weren't interested in sending their kids to school. Not until we started offering free food to them.

How can we afford it? We do what we must. This is one part where I became incredibly proud of my family, especially my parents. My extended family in Haiti also contribute their time. I've come to realize that when you really want to do something, you'll figure out a way.

The good thing is that the land was already owned by my deceased grandfather so we didn't have to buy that.

I agree with you that there are plenty of scams in Haiti. We are not one of them. I was born and raised there, my family has a real desire to make a positive impact. We've been doing that for years on our own, and we intend to continue for as long as we are able.

We are not a big organization. We do not pay ourselves. Nobody gets paid but the teachers, construction people, et ...

Huh?
