Can you imagine being a young single mom selling what little items you own on the street, hoping to make ends meet? Days are long, and an income is unpredictable for most uneducated women in Haiti. They long for a steady job to be able to provide for their children. Even those that were able to find steady work before the pandemic have found themselves back in an unpredictable situation, often due to the lack of education.
Most of the mothers that I have met in Haiti have the same goal—to provide for their children and offer them a better life than what they had known as a child. They know how vital it is to work hard and help others in need, and they take great value in education, especially if it is not a privilege they had for themselves personally.
