Sponsor a student: Students can be sponsored through the Haitian Connection Network website by clicking on the student’s picture on the Sponsor a Student page. While the education is free, the infrastructure (the computers, safe location, bandwidth, personnel to manage HCN, and feeding program that ensures the students get at least one meal a day) costs $1,600 per student per year.
Cost of Sponsorship: Any of the students can be sponsored for $40 dollars a month, which will cover 1/4 of the costs associated with their education. To sponsor a student, click here.
