To meet our goal, we must change how we work!

Our goal is to provide healthy school lunches to every student in our partner schools every weekday, all year long.

Since 2013, we have assembled meals to send to our partner schools in the mountains of Haiti. We had a couple years when it was hard to get them into the country. This past year Feed the Hunger was able to get them thru Customs, but transporting them from Cap Haitièn into the mountains was impossible due to ongoing violence on the roads. . These schools are so remote they are not threatened by the gang violence crippling Haiti’s capitol. Nevertheless, the gangs have taken over many communities and daily assault people on the roads to jobs and markets and families around the country. In 2025, the meals we packed have been shared with schools and churches, children, families and widows fleeing communities ruined by the gangs, but they have not made it to to the schools for whom we packed.

Though the meals we have packed are providing good emergency help to children, families, and widows in Haiti, they are not getting to our partner schools. Instead, we have sent money securely to our schools for provisioning school lunches from markets local to them. That is the way forward

___________________________

The meals our packathons produced last year have been getting into Haiti and feeding people in dire need, but not to our partner communities. Because of continuing violence around Port Au Prince, we have had to use the port of Cap Haitièn— 200 miles further away from our schools in the mountains. No safe way has been found to transport the food overland..

To make sure the students get lunch, Future Forward for Haiti has been sending secure funds to our partners so they can provision school lunches from local markets. That money is getting through!  However, in order to provide about 900 students with lunch every weekday through 2026 we will need to raise and send a total of $ XXXXXX

So we must pivot from packing to funding in order to meet our goal. Will you pivot with us this year?
