The mission of the Haiti School Project Book Program is to establish a sustainable book program for schools in Haiti.
Specifically the program will:
- Raise funds to buy books for the students of the Villard School.
- Implement a system like that of Cooperative for Education (CoEd), a nonprofit working in Guatemala, whereby:
- Money raised buys books for the needy students of the Villard School
- Agreements are made between Haiti School Project, receiving students and their parents to rent the books for the year at cost that is accessible for the parents.
- Money collected goes toward buying additional books, replacing worn and damaged books and updating the inventory as new editions are published as well as monitoring and maintaining the system put in place
- The goal is to create a sustainable program that once funded can largely self-perpetuate.
CoEd has demonstrated through their program that charging a small fee has two positive effects:
- Moneys received helps perpetuate the program
- There is a perception of added value and worth to the recipients if there is a cost involved.
Book Program Budget
The total amount needed to purchase the books is $10,500.
