Overview
Mission
Bread to the Nations supports several initiatives in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to help strengthen families. The initiatives include relief support of basic needs, such as medical, food and clothing for families, education, clean water, home building, widow support and Audio Bibles.
What it reported doing in 2025
Education: Bread to the Nations (BttN) partners with some of the best schools in Haiti, to provide education for children. In 2025, BttN supported the cost of tuition for 46 students. Most of these students come from vulnerable situations and would not be in school or attending a poor quality school if not for the support of BttN. BttN contracts with local Haitians to lead this initiative. They are responsible for keeping all records on the children and their progress in school with academics and attendance. We provide additional tutoring and support to the families when necessary, all to ensure success in the program. In 2025, one child received their high school diploma, one young woman entered her third year in nursing school and another young woman started her first year in nursing school, two young women and one young man started their own businesses after completing trade school. We also support one young man in medical school. All of this is possible through the support of BttN and encouragement of its leaders serving on the ground in Haiti. The total amount spent to support the education initiative in 2025 was $33,177.91. This includes tuition costs, tutoring, books, uniforms and contract employee expenses.
