Middle School – Friends of Haiti


The Friends of Haiti Inc. helps the poor, needy, and/or at at-risk people of Haiti. We support schools and students  with supplies,
food, clothing, and a specific program of tuition assistance. Our tuition assistance is designed to  support students to become nurses
and doctors. Haiti is in need of professional medical people. We can think of no better way to help Haitians gain better consistent
quality healthcare than by growing a community of medical professionals in the country of Haiti itself. Therefore, we have sought
to create a means to help encourage and help Haitian citizens access an education, so that they are equipped to serve their fellow
countrymen and women.
