The monthly amount needed to sponsor a student is divided into shares - each share is $10/month. You can choose to be the child's only sponsor and select all of the shares, or you can choose a portion of the shares and another sponsor(s) will take the remaining shares. If you have any questions about the sponsorship program please email us at alongside.haiti@gmail.com and we will happily give you more of an explanation.

Love-Djina lives at home with her parents, brother, and three sisters. They live in the city of Gonaives, but have a family garden in the small mountain community of Mount Blan. Love-Djina’s dad does the majority of the gardening and her mom sells their produce in the local market.
Love-Djina helps her dad when needed but the chores she prefers are the domestic ones with her mom – washing dishes, sweeping the yard, hanging laundry, etc.
At school Love-Djina’s favorite thing to do is read and she wished her school had more books available to the students to borrow. Her favorite color is red.
Love-Djina has just started High School and she has already noticed how many of her female classmates have dropped out. Love-Djina enjoys school and has a goal to graduate, pursue post- secondary education, and get a job that will allow her to provide for her family.
We are honored to walk alongside Love-Djina, and her family, as she works towards her goal.
