To meet our goal, we are changing how we work!
We Aim to provide a healthy school lunch to every student in our partner schools every weekday, all year long.
Local to Chapottin, this market sells everything needed for school lunches
The meals we packed in recent years are providing emergency relief for children, widows and families displaced within Haiti. Unfortunately, danger on the roads prevents us delivering them to our partner communities.
In 2025, we pivoted from packing to funding lunches to provide for the school children. The money arrives by secure electronic transfer and actually helps local farmers and marketers in addition to the children! Will you help us fund school lunches every weekday through 2026?
UNICEF reports :

Teaneck, NJ
There are 600 school children in Trois Mares and Chapottin. They depend on us to provide salaries for their teachers and cooks, textbooks and healthy lunches every day. If we are to continue to provide lunch for these children, we must raise $60,000. That amount will cover the cost of locally purchased rice, beans, and vegetables to serve the students meals five days a week for the entire 2026 year.
In addition to soliciting funds directly, we will sponsor a popcorn fundraiser, a shoe drive, and a restaurant fundraiser. Please contact Sue Papera, susiep515@aol.com to participate in any of these activities.
