You Can Sponsor a Haitian Schoolchild

A sponsor is a caring friend who is committed to meeting the educational needs of a Haitian child. You will be assigned a specific child/children. We ask that you make an initial commitment to sponsor your child through elementary school (6th grade).  

Sponsors initially receive the child’s name, school and picture. You will be provided receipts for monthly, tax-deductible contributions. Our goal is for you to receive a letter from your child and a school report card at least once a year; you may also be able to arrange a visit with your child in Haiti--subject to any necessary expenses. Children can be sponsored through the Bethany Project until they graduate from high school.

Most importantly, a monthly donation of $30 will enable your child to receive a Christian education in a church related school. We encourage you to join a church work team or vision trip and visit your child personally.

To become a sponsor print and fill out the application form, enclose a check for at least the first month's support, and mail to Partners with Haiti, Bethany Project, 25 Old County Road Barrington, RI  02806.  

If you have any questions, or for more information on the Bethany Project please contact Bethany Project Coordinator. 

Please note, Partners with Haiti/Bethany Project provides a tax receipt by return mail for every donation received. However we do not bill sponsors. If you need information about your account, you can mail a request to our Barrington address, or for a faster reply feel free to email our book keeper priefler@partnerswithhaiti.org.

Our children and their families do experience difficulties from time to time, and they might express this to their sponsors. Though we can feel helpless to provide solutions, they are not alone. There is a social network for them in Haiti involving pastors, school principals, teachers and others. Partners with Haiti does not provide health and welfare reports regarding children or their families, nor can funds other than regular monthly support and small, monetary gifts (birthdays & Christmas) be accepted for transfer. The most important thing a sponsor can do is pray for their child.

Corresponding directly with a student or family by mail, email, text, phone, etc., and/or transmitting funds by Western Union or other means is not recommended. Such communication can be problematic, and Partners with Haiti cannot not be responsible to help resolve issues that may arise.

Thank you for showing kindness and generosity to the children of Haiti as you are making a difference in their lives! On behalf of the devoted staff in Haiti, thank you for your prayers and your continued financial support of the Bethany Project. We are confident God will bless you.
