Save the Date - GivingTuesday is Dec. 2
Mark your calendars for GivingTuesday, a global day of giving — and a special opportunity to bless the children of Branch Lutheran Schools of Haiti!
This year, our goal is to raise $50,000 to provide education, daily meals, and the hope of Christ to more than **1,800 students** in Haiti. These children face unimaginable challenges every day — hunger, violence, and poverty — yet their faith and joy continue to shine brightly through your support.
And there’s even more good news: an anonymous donor will match every gift up to $10,000, doubling your impact!
Stay tuned for stories of hope, photos from our schools, and ways you can make a difference on **December 2**. Together, we can help children in Haiti keep dreaming, learning, and shining in God’s light.
Save the date. Spread the word. Share the joy. All Glory to God!

Hurricane Update
|
We are thankful to share that our brothers and sisters in Christ in Haiti are safe following Hurricane Melissa. We have not received any reports of damage to our Branch Lutheran Schools or injury to any of our students. Schools did have to close the week of the storm, but are now back open. Storms are always a challenge for the people of Haiti, so we praise God for His protection and thank you for keeping the children and communities of Haiti in your prayers.

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them..."
-Mark 10:14 |
|
For 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 six schools in Haiti; three elementary schools, hosted at three orphanages in the Port-au-Prince area, one middle school in Pilate, one preschool-kindergarten in Les Palmes, and one preschool-kindergarten in Cap-Haitien. These schools serve hundreds of students and employ over 60 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? |
