We all have experienced the power of consistency—it is key for success in almost every area of our lives.

You don’t get into shape by going to the gym once, great relationships aren’t built over a single dinner, and you only achieve your financial goals through small increments over a long period of time.

Did you also know that this same principle is true for your favourite charities and causes?

As Wendy Smith puts it in her book ‘Give A Little’—dimes destroyed polio, and five bucks can beat malaria.

Children everywhere deserve an education, nutrition, safe drinking water, and the opportunity for freedom! As an organization, LiveDifferent operates in a rural hillside community in Northern Haiti—which is where we invite you to partner with us!

We have a school—where hundreds of children are receiving the education and nutrition that they need to thrive—and a soon-to-be-completed “Freedom Village” that will provide hope and healing to young girls who have been exploited. 

By becoming a LoveLegacy monthly partner, you’ll not only be helping children directly, but you’ll be part of creating a ripple effect that can lift families, communities, and even a nation out of poverty.

We anchor our monthly partnerships at $40 a month. Many people do more and some do less. Again, the power is in the consistency.

What does $40 achieve? Well, we’re glad you asked.

— We’ve been able to grow from 70 students and one classroom in 2011 and now support over 289 students in 11 classrooms.

— In Haiti, where less than 20% of schools are provided by the government and less than 10% of students receive an education past the primary grades, a generation of children are being given access to education all the way through to Grade 9.

— Over 140,000 meals have been served to date—with every student and staff receiving a meal every school day.

— Water is brought into the school for drinking, cooking, sanitation, and cleaning.

— Among all else, it contributes to paying for school uniforms, school administration, internet, property taxes, maintenance, security, government academic testing, professional development for teachers, field trips…. And so much more!

Stats are all fine and good, but life is about people—so we’d like to introduce you to Sementha.

Sementha’s journey at Ecole L’Union started when she was in Grade 1, and over the last nine years, she’s had some wonderful times and made some incredible friends.

When we asked Sementha what she was going to miss most about Ecole L’Union, she said, “The meals! (laughter). I will miss my teachers and classmates too, of course.”

The meal program was something that Sementha always appreciated, and something that she hopes will continue for all future students. Having been at Ecole L’Union for almost a decade, she can remember what it was like before the program began.

“Having the meal program is important because when we are hungry at school, the meal is the only hope that most of us have.”

Lift children towards brighter futures and help provide education, nutrition, and freedom.

LoveLegacy is for those who have decided to care for some of the world’s most vulnerable. It’s for people who feel a responsibility to their global neighbours and want to help children leave poverty behind.

Does this sound like you? If so, you’re not alone!

As a group of monthly partners, LoveLegacy provides education, nutrition, and freedom to children in the hillside community of Calvaire, Haiti.

By taking care of these children, this group of generous givers are lifting up families and empowering them to create a better future for generations to come!

Wondering what difference a relatively small group of people have been able to accomplish for these children so far?

Here are just a few examples of what we’ve been able to do together over the last ten years:

— We purchased land, built a school, and opened the door to our first class of 70 students in 2011.

— We’ve expanded the footprint of the building and now are teaching over 280 students every day.

— In Haiti, where less than 20% of schools are provided by the government and less than 10% of students receive an education past the primary grades, we’ve paved the way for a generation of children to have access to education all the way through to Grade 9.

— Child malnutrition is widespread throughout Haiti, so we created a daily nutrition program. Since its beginning, we’ve served over 140,000 meals—with every student and staff receiving a nutritious snack and lunch every school day.

— Water is brought into the school for drinking, cooking, sanitation, and cleaning. Living daily in homes without running water or electricity, this is a big deal for these children.

— We’ve helped in all sorts of ways that you might not be top of mind of when thinking about supporting a school—like paying for school uniforms and competitive staff salaries, bringing internet access to the school, and covering things like property taxes, maintenance, security, government academic testing, professional development for teachers, field trips…. And so much more!

Phew! Are you excited? As you can see, there’s a lot we can accomplish when we work together!

The children, their families, and this community need you.

LoveLegacy partners are committed to supporting our efforts in Haiti on a monthly basis through financial support.

There is still a big gap to close to make our work in Haiti sustainable, so we’re asking people to take a leap of faith and commit to monthly giving over a one-time donation.

“I think education is very important. I love Ecole L’Union. I am grateful for all the benefits/privileges my children and all the kids have at the school. You have no idea how happy us parents are because of all that the school does for our children. The meals the school serves help us tremendously with keeping our children healthy.”
