To meet our goal, we must change how we work!
Our goal is to provide healthy school lunches to every student in our partner schools every weekday, all year long.
Local to Chapottin, this market sells everything needed for school lunches
The meals our packathons produced last year have been getting into Haiti and feeding people in dire need, but not to our partner communities. Because of continuing violence around Port Au Prince, we have had to use the port of Cap Haitièn— 200 miles further away from our schools in the mountains. No safe way has been found to transport the food overland..
To make sure the students get lunch, Future Forward for Haiti has been sending secure funds to our partners so they can provision school lunches from local markets. That money is getting through! However, in order to provide about 900 students with lunch every weekday through 2026 we will need to raise and send a total of $ 120,000!
That is why we must pivot from packing to funding in order to meet our goal. Will you help us fund school lunches for the children every weekday through 2026?

To provide lunches for the students in Bois Negresse, we must raise about $30,000 for local provisions. We willl miss packing together, but please remember the children in Bois Negresse still need you! Please be as generous as possible to make sure they receive lunch every weekday of 2026.

There are 600 school children in Trois Mares and Chapottin. They depend on us to provide salaries for their teachers and cooks, textbooks and healthy lunches every day. If we are to continue to provide lunch for these children, we must raise $60,000. That amount will cover the cost of locally purchased rice, beans, and vegetables to serve the students meals five days a week for the entire 2026 year.
In addition to soliciting funds directly, we will sponsor a popcorn fundraiser, a shoe drive, and a restaurant fundraiser. Please contact Sue Papera, susiep515@aol.com to participate in any of these activities.
