What if Branch Schools didn't exist?
To help answer this question, we can look at the words shared by Director Boursiquot recently as his school ended for summer (paraphrased for translation):
"We would like, at this end of the school year, to tell you that your actions have a serious positive impact. If you become discouraged or get tired and give up, there will be a great price for the orphans and children at the schools. Words fail us, but we are grateful. Thank you again."
Branch Schools is so blessed to be connected to these wonderful schools in Haiti! Your support makes it possible for us to continue funding the schools year after year--and this summer, we need your help again. Prices are continuing to rise in Haiti at extreme levels, resulting in additional funds needed to supply food, school materials, and salaries for the teachers.
From now until September 1, our goal is reach 100 donations to support the beginning of the 2022-23 school year. If we reach that goal, we will release a limited-edition t-shirt and enter every donor from the summer into a drawing to receive one for free!
Will you be one of the 100?

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them..." Mark 10:14For children in Haiti, the situation is bleak. Their homeland is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere and has the lowest literacy rate of just 61.7%. School fees are difficult to afford for many parents, as 75% of the population lives on $2.41 or less every day, yet education is a light and hope for the next generation and is desperately needed.
Branch Schools is a WELS affiliate, Lutheran non-profit organization that sends funding to five schools in Haiti; three elementary schools, hosted at three orphanages in the Port-au-Prince area, one middle school in Pilate, and one preschool-kindergarten in Les Palmes. These schools serve hundreds of students and employ almost 40 teachers. A common saying in Haiti is that the country is "70% Catholic, 30% Protestant, and 100% Vodou." At Branch Schools, the children hear the Word of God in their classrooms every day and learn of the amazing love and salvation found in Jesus. They memorize the 10 Commandments, Apostles Creed, Lord's Prayer, and more as they dive into a thorough study of the Bible's teachings.
