After 20 remarkable years of service, EDE is closing this chapter of our journey. We write to you not with sadness, but with profound gratitude for every person who believed in the transformative power of education and stood alongside the children and families of Haiti.
For two decades, your generosity made it possible for children from families facing hardship to attend school, to dream, and to prepare for a brighter tomorrow. What began as a simple mission—improving the lives of Haiti's youth through education—became a powerful testament to what compassion and commitment can accomplish.
Dear friends and supporters,
It is with deep gratitude and respect that we write to you today to say thank you. Thanks to your generosity, many children from families facing hardship have had the opportunity to attend school over several years. This program would not have been possible without the support you provided and your heartfelt commitment to making a real difference in the lives of others.
The parents of these children, who often struggle daily to meet even their most basic needs, never cease to express their gratitude. For them, their children's education is their greatest hope for a better future. And today, it is thanks to your compassionate hearts that many of these children are able to dream, learn, and prepare for a brighter tomorrow.
We are aware that the current situation is challenging. The program leader has informed us that there are now difficulties due to a lack of funds. But this does not stop us from pausing to acknowledge each contribution, each gesture, and every cent that has brought hope and light into the lives of these children.
On behalf of all the families and students who have benefited from this initiative, we say a heartfelt thank you. Your support has made a real difference. We hope your hearts will remain open to supporting education, because it is the greatest tool for changing the world.
Over these 20 years, we witnessed the power of education to transform lives. We saw students who once struggled to afford school supplies graduate with confidence and capability. We watched parents who barely had enough to eat sacrifice everything so their children could learn. We experienced the extraordinary resilience of the Haitian people and the boundless potential of their youth.
Every donation, every word of encouragement, every act of kindness created ripples that extended far beyond what we could measure. You didn't just help children attend school—you gave entire families hope for a better future.
To every donor who gave generously, to every volunteer who shared their time and talents, to every person who believed in our mission—thank you. Your compassion has made a real and lasting difference in the lives of countless children and families.
While EDE's work in Haiti has come to an end, the impact of your generosity will continue for generations. The students you helped educate will go on to build better lives for themselves and their communities. The hope you kindled will continue to shine.
