Education
Education is a priority at Maison de Lumiere. All of the children residing at the orphanage are attending outside Christian school. In addition, we try to provide an education for other non-residence children as funds allow.
It is the goal and mission of Maison de Lumiere to eventually build a school where we can provide free or low cost education to all children.
We believe a solid and well-developed educational program is critical to helping homeless children help themselves -- and eventually all of Haiti. Whether through higher educational goals (university, professional training, etc.) or through trade and vocational schools, an education will greatly improve their survivability within a country where there is 80% unemployment.
Our approach is to provide an educational foundation built on Christian principles, stressing integrity, honesty and service. The education our children receive will not only meet Haitian standards but will go beyond to provide additional training in languages, the arts and technology.
