200 School Scholarships

Because there are so few public schools in Haiti, most children are unable to receive a free education. The What If? Foundation provides scholarships to pay for the tuition, uniforms, and books needed for school.

A donation of $250 sends one elementary or high school student to school for one year.

Currently, we are providing 200 girls and boys with full scholarships to attend private elementary and high schools.

“My goal is to be a doctor so that I can heal the sick. Doctors are so needed in our country because so many are suffering.”

We are also giving scholarships to 18 students who are attending college or technical school in Port-au-Prince. Nathalie Jeonnat is in a pre-med program and will soon attend medical school (photo on right).

Our goal is to increase funding so that all of the students we sponsor have the opportunity to continue their education after they graduate from high school.

“If you don’t know how to read or write, how can you become a president or a lawyer? We are going to school so that we can help our country, the people, and because in life everything is connected.”

– Sarah Auguste, age 16
