Virgin London Marathon 2013 · 21 April 2013 ·

Before the devastating earthquake of the 12th of January 2010, an estimated 1.3 million of Haiti's school-aged children did not have access to an education. UHUK was formed in 2008 in direct response to helping Haiti's children get an education. UHUK has been tirelessly working at making a positive contribution in the lives of the impoverished children in Haiti by working with selected grassroots organisations in the country. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. They say that every child has the right to an education, however, for those born into a life of poverty, education becomes even more paramount in helping them secure a prosperous future. We were sponsoring 16 children in Carrefour and we want to expand to include more sponsorships and assist in the building and re-building of more schools throughout Haiti. Please donate now and help us in our challenge of educating the under privileged children in Haiti.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

One of UHUK’s remits is educating the United Kingdom on Haitian facts, information and sharing our culture. UHUK's aim in also to provide free education and free school meals to primary school children.

L'Ahadepa School has been operating since 11th September 2006 and currently has 84 students, 45 girls and 39 boys. Headteacher Ricot Osias has been dedicated to the school from the start and is eager to help in the development of his community, where too many children are unable to attend school and achieve any kind of formal education because their parents do not have the means to provide for them.

£70 can buy a yearly school and exam fees for a child aged 9 to 11 years 4th to 6th elementary grade school in the British school system. That's mean we will be able to sponsor 10 children for the next academic year.

So please dig deep and donate now.
