Building brighter futures, one backpack at a time.

Each year, Pierre Foundation hosts a Back-to-School Program in Haiti, distributing more than 200 school bags filled with essential supplies to help children begin the school year prepared to learn, participate, and succeed.

What goes in a bag

Every pack is built around what a Haitian classroom actually asks a child to bring, not what is easiest to donate.

  • Notebooks, pencils, pens, and a ruler
  • A backpack sturdy enough to last the full year
  • Basic hygiene items for boarding and rural students

Distributed with the community, not at it

School directors and local leaders decide who receives a pack, because they know which families are struggling quietly. Diaspora volunteers help gather and ship the supplies, which keeps the cost per child low and the connection to home strong.

Help us reach more communities

Your gift keeps this program running and growing across Haiti.
