- PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS - HAITI HAITI REMAINS THE POOREST COUNTRY IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE AND AMONG THE POOREST GLOBALLY. IN RECENT YEARS, IT HAS DESCENDED INTO NEAR-TOTAL STATE COLLAPSE, WITH LARGE SWATHS CONTROLLED BY WARRING GANGS. ALTHOUGH INTERNATIONAL AID POURED INTO THE COUNTRY FOLLOWING THE DEVASTATING 2010 EARTHQUAKE, THOSE EFFORTS PROVED LARGELY INEFFECTUAL. TODAY, CIVIL UNREST HAS FORCED MANY NGOS AND VOLUNTEERS TO WITHDRAW ENTIRELY. PHAETON OUR WORK IS CENTERED IN PHAETON, A SMALL VILLAGE OF APPROXIMATELY 3,000 RESIDENTS SITUATED ALONG HAITI'S NORTHEAST COAST. THE COMMUNITY'S REMOTE LOCATION HAS PROVIDED SOME INSULATION FROM THE NATIONAL TURMOIL, YET DAILY LIFE REMAINS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. WITH NO ELECTRICITY, UNRELIABLE ACCESS TO WATER, AND MOST FAMILIES SURVIVING ON LESS THAN ONE DOLLAR PER DAY, THE CHALLENGES ARE IMMENSE. DESPITE THESE HARDSHIPS, OUR ONGOING PROGRAMS HAVE MADE MEASURABLE PROGRESS IN IMPROVING LIVES. PRIORITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS "THE PRIMARY SCHOOL WE ESTABLISHED OFFERS EDUCATION FROM PRE-K THROUGH GRADE 6 AND SERVES A DAILY HOT LUNCH - THE ONLY SUBSTANTIAL MEAL MANY STUDENTS RECEIVE.
