Quality Education
Education is vital to lasting positive change in children’s lives. Yet for millions of children and youth in countries like Haiti, education is beyond their grasp. Hand International Inc reaches the world’s most under-served children – those who urgently need education to survive and thrive. We work in impoverished rural communities across the Caribbean. We provide early childhood development, literacy, physical activity, and nutrition programming.
Children in Haiti are facing an unimaginable tragedy. Approximately 33% of children ages 6-12 do not attend school, and this percentage climbs to 40% for children ages 5 to 15 which accounts for approximately one million children. Every morning, tens of thousands of Haitian children wake up to a hazardous reality.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The specific goals and purpose of this organization shall be:
a. to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, pro-social behavior, strong inter personal skills, and reassert a sense of hope in the future.
b. to improve the living condition of the less fortunate through quality education, health and combat against community deterioration.
c. to highlight/maintain practices and programs that promote sustainable development. d. to develop actions, bring reflections and facilitate the reception of certain aspects in favor of health and educational structure that are weak.
e. To prepare the child to be seen as a plan for tomorrow, an asset for the future; an assurance for human and social posterity.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We want to empower our children, rather than doing the usual: feeding them. Thus We seek to break the cycle of poverty, that hounds them. By providing access to education, learning of new skills and promoting pro-social behavior, we strive to make orphans and less fortunate kids, not only happy but confident and well prepared to transition from childhood to adulthood.
We champion the importance of children. We seek to shape a generation of young people with strong values and leadership qualities.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a dedicated and motivated team in the US and in Haiti that is always ready to get involved. We have established strong partnership with many entities and will seek much more partnerships in order to fulfill our mission, making sure also that are goals are met.
We will prioritize education, child protection and health needs; help parents provide a secure and healthy environment for their children; and work to ensure a better future for Haitian children.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have put 100 children to school.
We have helped over 150 with their medical bills or cover the doctor's visit fee and lab.
We provided over 50 martial gears for children ages: 7-18.
We helped 20 children reunified we their parents.
