Transforming Lives Through Education
Sponsor a Teacher with the Rapino Foundation
In Haiti, a country where poverty rates are staggering, education emerges as a potent tool in breaking the chains of impoverishment, offering a beacon of hope and a pathway towards a brighter, more sustainable future. In the rural mountain regions, the Rapino Foundation’s Rural Mountain School stands as a bastion of hope, fostering education and nurturing dreams for some of the country’s most underprivileged children.

A School Offering Unprecedented Opportunities
The Rural Mountain School is a rarity in Haiti, offering free education to children who would otherwise be deprived of the foundational knowledge and skills vital for their personal and professional growth. Operating with 24 full-time staff members for the kindergarten and primary school levels, and up to 20 hourly-paid secondary school teachers, the institution is a vibrant learning hub where dedicated educators shape young minds and build strong foundations for the future leaders of Haiti.
Each classroom accommodates no more than 40 students, a deliberate choice that seeks to balance inclusivity with the quality of attention each student receives. This thoughtful approach ensures that while many families benefit from the school’s resources, the student-teacher ratio remains conducive to effective learning.

The Far-reaching Impact of Sponsoring a Teacher
While sponsoring a child can indeed change a life, sponsoring a teacher has the potential to transform scores of lives each month. A single teacher, empowered with the necessary resources and support, can impart life-changing education to numerous children, igniting sparks of curiosity, knowledge, and ambition in young hearts.
The Rapino Foundation offers a flexible sponsorship scheme. For approximately $150 (£115) a month — the average salary of a teacher in Haiti — you can choose to fully sponsor a teacher’s salary or collaborate with others to contribute a portion of it.
The Ripple Effect of Your Contribution
