Light & Peace Christian Schools
There are 10 Light & Peace Christian Schools in the cities and mountain villages of Haiti, and Dayspring is committed to supporting them in order to train up godly Christian men and women to lead Haiti into the future.
Most schools meet in a church building, or whatever kind of building that's around. The Light & Peace Schools in Bon Repos have separate buildings and start with Preschool when the littlest ones are only three years old. The grades proceed from there to Kindergarten and through Sixth Grade. To graduate from Sixth Grade, each student must pass a government test before they are eligible to attend a Secondary School. However, only 2% of Haitian students finish Secondary School due to the cost of tuition.
Dayspring Ministries supports five Light & Peace Primary Schools in various towns and one Secondary School, providing a Christian education for more than 1,000 students. Dayspring also provides a free lunch program at four of the Light & Peace Christian schools, and the attendance is excellent at all of them!
The Light & Peace Christian School in Bon Repos is one of the schools that has a free lunch program. Lunch consists of rice and beans with a tomato and onion sauce for each student, and this may be the only meal some children receive all day.
Haiti’s future lies in the education of its youth.
Students from My Father's House Orphanage can be sponsored through the Orphan Sponsorship Program for $50 per month. For an additional $35 per month, the cost of the child's school tuition will also be covered. Each student who completes the Secondary School program and graduates receives an official accredited diploma.
The January 2010 earthquake destroyed over 5,000 schools and universities in Haiti. Thousands of students who would have been the leaders of tomorrow never had an opportunity to finish their education. It is Dayspring's commitment to raise up Haiti's youth to become godly leaders in their homes, in their churches, in their communities and in their country.
