ICA Haiti Schools

Education is a high priority to the churches of the Independent Christian Alliance Churches of Haiti. Children in Haiti are not guaranteed an education as they are in the US, so the churches often build and staff elementary and high schools for the purpose of educating the next generation of citizens as well as future church leaders.

This education comes at a cost and many of the country’s poor cannot afford the tuition, school uniforms and school supplies that an education requires. That is why Independent Christian Alliance churches seek to provide education opportunities when they can. At the present time there are 14 schools (12 elementary and two secondary “high” schools). There are over 1,750 children in these schools.

The Mission has established a school sponsorship program where a person/family can “adopt” a student and help with the costs to provide that student with the opportunity for an education. At the present time there are almost 350 students in need of sponsorship so that they can continue or further their education.

The cost for sponsorship is $25.00 a month and covers the student’s tuition, uniform and school supplies. Among those students that are in need of sponsorship are these five: Carlens Mathurin (age 7), Ordely Joseph (age 9), Ramson Glode Paul (age 6), Christelle DeVole (age 6), and Raphael Joseph (age 4).

If you would be interested in sponsoring any of these children, please contact Rev. Terry Major (68 Talbott Ave., Martinsburg, WV 25405; oridwanyks@gmail.com) and he will forward you the picture of that student and support information for sending your monthly contribution to ICA. Feel free to contact ICA directly if you would be interested in sponsorship of older children.

You can also find more information about this program as well as providing meals for students under the “sponsor a student” tab.
