There are a multitude of ways to tackle any problem, and in today’s Haiti there are a number of issues that need addressing. Countless statistics bear out that hungry or malnourished children have trouble learning and will fall behind. How many future leaders and innovators is this costing us?

These two problems – hunger and dead ends – may not sound equivalent, but to us they’re two sides of the same coin… Young people, given the opportunity to meet their potential, will inspire others. This is how old cycles get broken and new patterns emerge.
