My Nonprofit Reviews

I support several nonprofits, and I rank Haiti Scholars in my top one or two. Nicole Waite and her team do an excellent job of communicating both the needs of Haitian young people and their families, and the steps taken by Haiti Scholars to meet those needs. So you know exactly how your donations have been used. Of course, the priority is providing scholarships for extremely poor students, but Haiti Scholars also supports the students and their families by providing student dinners, medical and dental exams, water filters, clothing and much more. The life threatening situation in Haiti has prevented team members from going to Haiti the last few years, but Haiti Scholars maintains almost daily contact with Haitian staff and others so the flow of resources to students and families can continue. Lately it has become more difficult. Nonetheless, when the gangs recently attacked Mariana and families had to disperse to the other towns, Haiti Scholars managed to keep track of their sponsored student and what schools they are currently attending. Hopefully, the students and their families will be able to return to Mariana in the near future. Some positive steps toward a reasonable stability seem to be occurring.
