Last month we launched our annual fund campaign and we have been receiving messages of peace and hope from all over the globe. It means so much to have that solidarity.
I am fortunate that I am inspired daily by the joy that I see in the faces of our kids. The light shining through the kids of GOALS Haiti bringing positivity has never been brighter—or more important. Each day, through soccer, education, and community, the kids find joy, purpose, and a sense of belonging. Their smiles on the field, their curiosity in the classroom, and their dreams for a brighter future remind us all of the power of hope.
It is so important to give children the tools to thrive, and the space to dream and believe—even amidst uncertainty.
The news of the insecurity in Haiti continues to escalate. Areas that are spared the violence and destruction of gang-controlled areas are feeling the daily obstacles of lack of goods and severe inflation. UNICEF reported that 60% of Haitian households can only provide food for one meal a day.
Even when challenges surround us we remain a constant source of support for the kids and their families. After our daily program kids are served a meal that for many is the reliable meal of their day. Our goal is that every child can improve their physical and mental health while gaining an education, skills and tools to last a lifetime.
Investing in their joy and their future matters. Together, we are creating positive ripples of change that go far beyond the playing fields. Your generosity and encouragement allow us to nurture growth, confidence, and hope in the hearts of Haiti’s youth.
Thank you for standing with us as we continue to inspire and uplift the kids and youth - they are the promise of a better tomorrow.
Wishing all of you hope and joy.
