Sponsor A Family


We urgently need you! 

Will you pledge to sponsor a vulnerable family in Haiti today?

On Lagonav Island, we’re working to help the very poorest rural families escape extreme poverty. These families are especially vulnerable, often with young children and no means of support. Women lead most of these households, and they are often isolated from their neighbors, destitute, with hardly any shelter and little or no means to feed, clothe, and educate their children. We are determined to help these families permanently escape extreme poverty and reclaim their dignity.

The commitment is $100/month for 18 months or $1,800. 

You can empower a family to escape poverty for good.

 

Thank you so much for your generosity, your care, and your concern for vulnerable families in Haiti.


Beyond Borders’  Family Sponsorship program uses an approach called The Graduation Model, proven globally to help families lift themselves out of extreme poverty in 18 months.

Your Sponsored Family receives: assets to earn a living with, for example livestock, or goods to start a small store; training to manage the assets and start saving; initial cash support to reduce the need to sell their assets in an emergency; weekly coaching visits to reinforce skills, and build confidence; and access to healthcare so they can stay healthy and work.

More than 231 families have already graduated from the program — a 99% success rate. But we can’t stop there. We’ve identified 110 more families on Lagonav Island that are trapped in absolute poverty. We cannot begin work with these families until we have sponsors to support all 110 families.

This video shows how in 18 months your sponsorship can help a family to move from a place of destitution and dependence to a life filled with dignity, independence, and hope. Please sponsor a family today. Thank you!
