Human Care School’s First Female Graduate!
This picture is pretty special. It’s more than just a sharp-dressed group of our recent graduates from the Human Care School in Haiti. It’s really special because of that lady right there in the middle, our first female graduate from Human Care School!
When the school was founded in 2007, the overwhelming need was for a boy’s only high school. So, our first 10 years of graduating classes were all male. But when we added the primary grades in 2012, there was a need for both local boys and girls to receive a quality, Christian education.
Meet Kerlancia Dumel. Born the 3rd of 6 children in her very poor family, her parents were thrilled to enroll her in HCS’s 4th grade class in 2016. The opportunity for a quality education is very rare in that part of Haiti and, when it is available, the costs are out reach for families like hers. But Kerlancia did not take this opportunity lightly. She worked hard, passing every grade and every national test to make it to graduation in 2025. And she has big dreams. Kerlancia would like to become a laboratory technician with 3 years of technical school training.
From now on, each graduating class at Human Care School will be coed. HCS provides a free, high quality, Christian education to every young person who needs it in the small community outside of Mare Rouge, Haiti. But this dream was in danger for up and coming students. A critical budget shortfall due to rising costs and the challenge of an unstable global economy had led the HCS leadership to consider closing some grades. But the story doesn’t have to stop there, you can help this legacy continue.
Right now, generous donors have supplied a $16,000 Matching Grant to match new monthly giving to Human Care School for a year. That means that each new monthly gift to HCS will be matched throughout 2026!. If you have ever considered supporting our partner in Haiti through monthly giving, this is the perfect time. If you already do that and you would like to encourage others, this is the perfect time. Use the links below to sponsor a class, to give monthly to the Human Care School, or forward this email to invite others to participate. This matching campaign will meet the critical shortfall at Human Care School and create more stories like Kerlancia’s.
God is breaking the cycles of spiritual and physical poverty! And He uses generous believers like you to do it.
Thank you for helping to make this possible!
Together, we can Be the Answer!
