The Branch Schools #GivingTuesday 2021 campaign is going on now!
This year, our #GivingTuesday campaign will run from Give to the Max Day (November 18th) to #GivingTuesday (November 30th). Our goal is to raise one month of funding, or $14,500, in our "12 days for 1/12th of the year" campaign! Every donation we receive in the 12 days from November 18th to November 30th will help us reach our goal and guarantee another month of funding for the 1,200 students in Haiti who attend Branch Schools. |

The excitement doesn't stop there! For the first time ever, Branch Schools has another way to both contribute to our #GivingTuesday and show off your support in style! We have set up a campaign on Bonfire, an online t-shirt sales platform, and we've unveiled our first design! A portion of every t-shirt purchased from Bonfire will go directly to our #GivingTuesday campaign and help us raise $14,500 for another month of funding!
T-shirt designs will be released throughout the 12 days of our campaign, so be sure to check back often! Find all our designs and purchase an adult or youth t-shirt on Bonfire via the button below. Thank you! |

"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. Will you help Branch Schools continue this vital mission in Haiti? |
