Today, Kenny’s three children are at MCLC. Because of people like you, they receive a hot breakfast before class. They learn in Haitian Creole. They work in school gardens and classrooms where children are taught without violence. They are respected.
That’s the promise of Matènwa — even now, even in this difficult moment. And more families than ever are depending on MCLC to keep that promise. This year, 350 children are enrolled — the highest number in the school’s history.
By June 30, we need to close a $180,000 gap so MCLC can keep providing teachers, breakfast, books, gardens, and safe classrooms for children and families like Kenny’s who are counting on Matènwa.
You may never meet every child who eats breakfast at Matènwa, every parent who sleeps a little easier, or every teacher who makes room for one more student — but your generosity and solidarity makes all of this possible.
