The Backpacks for Education Initiative started in 2016 and has provided over 2,500 children in Haiti and the Dominican Republic with brand new backpacks and school supplies. Since the start of this project our Rotarians have put in countless hours to help better the lives of those less fortunate than most.
For many children across the world, the start of a new year can be stressful and financially challenging for parents. In Haiti and the Dominican Republic, many children return to school unprepared, lacking the basic supplies they need to succeed.
It is our mission to improve the scholastic achievement of children by providing them with the essential tools and materials necessary to learn and grow.
