Our Mission

The Leve Project is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides access to education and business literacy programs to underserved students in Haiti. The organization partners with select secondary level schools in Haiti to sponsor the cost of education for students who are struggling financially. The organization also provides workshops, intensive courses, and program on business literacy and development.

Our Purpose

The Leve Project wants to mitigate the educational disparity among Haitian students through satisfying financial requirements and supporting local private schools.

We promise to evolve our organization every school year to build upon the needs of the children, families and communities we serve. We promise to uphold values that promote a reputable and safe access to education through encouraging our teams. We promise to maintain principles that encourage success for all of our scholars. Lastly, we promise to be transparent about the operations of our organization to ensure our supporters that we keep in mind the best interest of our donors, supporters and beneficiaries.
