Why Race?
After the 2010 Earthquake in Haiti, hundreds of thousands of children found themselves homeless, orphaned, and in a fight for their very lives. With over 300,000 dead, these children had no one to look to but themselves. When Give Hope's founders first stepped foot in Haiti they found underfed, unhealthy children struggling to survive. They knew change had to happen. Give Hope Global has since fought alongside the people of Haiti to rebuild what was lost, and create opportunities through education that most of these children have not had. By joining the race for education, you bring hope to those fighting for a better future at any age or grade-level.
- $600 will cover the annual education expense for one primary or middle school student
- $1400 will cover the cost of technology and curriculum for one year of virtual education for a high school student
- $5000 will cover the annual tuition and living expense for one student to attend a university
Every step you take propels our race for education forward allowing these students to become change agents in their community.
