Resilience in Caps and Gowns
Instead of allowing difficult circumstances to hold them back, HELP graduates use them as fuel to create lasting change in Haiti. In December 2025, the Haitian Education and Leadership Program (HELP) celebrated the graduation of the classes of 2024 and 2025. In total, thirty-seven students earned their university degree. This accomplishment is a true testament to their perseverance!
Hope Grows in Haiti
Through the Chemen Lavi Miyò program, everything changes. It doesn’t just provide resources, it offers a new beginning. The CLM program offers women in Haiti living in ultra-poverty the restoration of dignity and a life of hope.
Three New Classrooms, Endless Possibilities
To support our long-term partnership with Centre d’Education Integree (CEI), the Haitian Timoun Foundation used the funds raised during the 2025 Hoops for Haiti campaign to assist with the building of three new classrooms. These new classrooms enable CEI to enroll up to 100 additional students.
Preparing for Future Service
We are incredibly proud that Ralph is the first recipient of the Barger Family HELP Scholarship!
