Haiti in My Heart's mission is to relieve poverty and provide opportunities for and access to education in Haiti. Join us!

We are a registered Canadian charity #80638 5837 RR0001. Developing the next generation of leaders in Haiti, Haiti in my Heart was co-founded in 2014 to support education in Haiti. Our vision is a country where access to education is free, and children remain in school until graduating High School. HIMH currently provides support though student and teacher sponsorships, and providing educational resources to Institute Mixte Remax in Montrouis, Haiti, located on the west coast of the island. IMR currently educates 160 students, from kindergarten through to grade 6. IMR employs a school director, teachers, cook, and nurse. HIMH also provides basic needs to our students' families and the surrounding community. Our directors have traveled to Haiti, and know what a difference education can make in the difference in the life of a child!

We are delighted to congratulate this year’s kindergarten graduates on their remarkable achievement. Last Thursday, their families attended the graduation ceremony with pride and joy. Completing this initial step in their educational journey is a significant milestone in Haiti. We are hopeful that they will continue to grow and learn with us at IMR until they complete 9th grade. We thank our dedicated monthly sponsors and generous donors who make our school’s mission to educate and inspire possible. ❤️💙❤️📕📘📕

Our students celebrated Labor and Agriculture Day on May 1st with a lovely presentation and lunch.

For much of Haiti’s history, a large share of the population has depended on farming for income and food. Farmers grow crops such as:

* Mangoes
* Bananas
* Plantains
* Coffee
* Cocoa
* Rice
* Corn
* Beans
* Various fruits and vegetables

Because agriculture has been so important to the country’s livelihood, Haiti’s May 1 holiday honors farmers alongside other workers.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us so that we can provide these special activities for our precious children

Our students celebrated Flag Day in Haiti on Friday with special performances and a wonderful, hardy meal.

Haitian Flag Day is celebrated every year on May 18 and commemorates the creation of Haiti’s national flag in 1803 during the Haitian Revolution. According to tradition, revolutionary leader Jean-Jacques Dessalines removed the white stripe from the French tricolor—symbolizing colonial rule—and had Catherine Flon sew together the remaining blue and red to represent unity between Black and mixed-race Haitians. The day is marked with parades, music, school events, and displays of national pride both in Haiti and across Haitian communities worldwide.

We are so thankful for our donors and sponsors who help us continue to provide days such as these full of joy for our students and staff. 💙❤️💙

🌟Hope Lights the Darkest Night🌟

Empowerment. How does it happen?

Through competence, confidence, and connection.

With reaching 75% of our fundraising goal, our children’s minds and bodies will continue to be in a “ready-state” for learning, thanks to Canada’s 🇨🇦 generosity to ensure our families receive meal kits this week, and funds are available to continue to provide a daily meal to our staff and students in the upcoming year. 🍲

Feeding children’s bodies nutritious and regular meals, and nourishing their minds through knowledge leads to competence and confidence and connection: an empowered, open mind that seeks positive change.

This is the impact the last 25% of our fundraising goal can achieve in hundreds of children in our care in Haiti - fostering hearts, minds, and spirits that can lead Haiti to a brighter and more peaceful future. 🕊️

Be the Light. Donate today.

Be the Reason A Child in Haiti Says “I Get It!”‼️

Sometimes, the most powerful light is education. A nourished mind is an educated mind.

Your support helps open minds and create “lightbulb” moments for our students. 💡

Continued donations mean we can keep giving our students “lightbulb” moments, no matter the location.

Providing children the chance to learn and grow in an enriched, supportive environment is the heart of our mission. ❤

Your contribution will help us be ready to nurture the “lightbulb” moments that lead our students to a healthy, safe future.

A Child’s Aha Moment Is Waiting! 💡

We began with a vision to provide accessible education to children and families in Haiti. This is the “guiding light” of our work.

In spite of recent events, our “reason for being” – educating children – continues. 📚

In the coming months, the logistics are likely to be challenging, perhaps located where our families now reside, and involve additional costs that we would typically not have.

Yet, a nourished mind is an educated mind.

Continued donations, mean we can keep giving our students “lightbulb moments”, no matter the location.

Create a “lightbulb moment” for a child in Haiti today! 💡❣
