Review for Beyond Borders Inc, Norristown, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Beyond Borders has been working in Haiti for over 18 years - working alongside Haitians on a grassroots level. They strive to see that all Haitian children have access to quality education. They also support adult literacy. One of their major focus' is to cut the flow of Haitian children into domestic servitude... basically child slavery. Please support Beyond Borders, who has a long term relationship with Haiti and her people. They will be there long after the larger international aid organizations have moved on. For five consecutive years Beyond Borders has been awarded the highest rating from Charity Navigator™, America’s largest independent evaluator of charities. Check out their website @ BeyondBorders.net THANK YOU in advance for your support! Charlotte

Ways to make it better...

I would have liked to stay longer than 10 days.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Today, the greatest challenge is to obtain the funding necessary to bring supplies and necessary aid to the people of Haiti after the devastating earthquake.

There are opportunities to travel to Haiti via their Transformational Travel program. It has indeed transformed lives!
