Our Zel Haiti yoga bag launch this weekend was a great success! We were happy to have our whole C4C women’s empowerment team there at the event. It was amazing to do yoga alongside others to help support our 9 artisans and their families. Stay tuned for our yoga bags to be featured on our Zel site.
The situation in Haiti worsens as the gas shortage continues to cripple the economy. mailchi.mp/chances4children/pray-for-haiti-574787?e=883fb61bc4
The political unrest continues in Haiti, but now there is also a gas shortage (all stemming from the reason for the political unrest, which I’ve shared in the past). If you want to know a little mo...

Sweet Matina-one of our faithful seamstresses in our women empowerment program Zel Haiti-added a little boy to her family this morning! He’s going to have four older sisters doting on him. Mama and baby are doing well. 💙
Shout out to these 4 - HAPPY SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAY! Wishing you a year of fun and many smiles!
Felicien is one of our drivers and has been with us since the beginning! He also plays a large role in our Kenscoff church. We are thankful for his humble character and hard work ethic. His wife, Joann, works as a nanny in our crèche and he has a son and a daughter. We are thankful to have him as part of our team!

It has been a big summer within our education department! We have completed our first teacher trainings and we are excited to get the school year started. Our 5 village schools begin next week for nearly 300 students! We are in need of sponsors for these kids to help pay for tuition, books, and uniforms. It costs $150 per year to send a child to school. We would not be able to send these kids to school without your support.
According to Schools for Haiti, roughly 75% of Haitians are either unemployed or trying to make ends meet in the informal economy and are living in abject poverty. As a direct result of this, many parenting s are not able to send their children to school.
* Of the 57% of children that attend school, less then 30% will reach 6th grade.
* Haiti’s literacy rate is 52.9%.
* Haiti ranks 177th out of 186 in the world for national spending on education.
We can’t speak enough about how vital education is for the children and their futures. Please reach out to Camille at admin@chances4children.org if you are interested in joining our sponsorship team and come alongside these children and their families to help provide the education they so desperately need.

We have finished the interview and selection process for our 2nd round of micro loans in Gonaives, and we will be starting the month-long training for the women next week! The 11 women chosen will learn more about how to better run their businesses and save, and how to put God first in their businesses, which will be led by our pastors in Gonaives. Women from the 1st round of loans will step in as mentors for the new women in the program.
We are thrilled to be starting the second round; we know that sustainability programs like this are key to helping communities thrive in the long run.
By attending and/or donating towards our biggest event of the year, Night of Hope, on November 9, you can help support the women in this program.

This week, P4H Global is leading a teacher training for 18 of our teachers from Desdunes, Hatte Chevreau, and Latapi. This is the teachers’ very first formal training where they do a lot of hands-on activities and are trained to prioritize what is best for the student - more vocal interaction and critical thinking. We love partnering with this amazing organization!
We are thankful we could send many teachers to the training, but we are still raising funds to cover all of these costs! You can donate by going to www.chances4children.org, scrolling down and selecting “Donate Now,” then clicking on “In honor of” and writing out “teacher training.” We cannot thank you enough for your support of our education program, these students are the future of Haiti!
