YTD Raised: £1,851.61Before the devastating earthquake of the 12th of January 2010, an estimated 1.3 million of Haiti's school-aged children did not have access to an education. UHUK was formed in 2008 in direct response to helping Haiti's children get an education. UHUK has been tirelessly working at making a positive contribution in the lives of the impoverished children in Haiti by working with selected grassroots organisations in the country. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. They say that every child has the right to an education, however, for those born into a life of poverty, education becomes even more paramount in helping them secure a prosperous future. We were sponsoring 16 children in Carrefour and we want to expand to include more sponsorships and assist in the building and re-building of more schools throughout Haiti. Please donate now and help us in our challenge of educating the under privileged children in Haiti.
