Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $67,272 spent. Jeremie Rising organizes tuition sponsorships for K-12 eligible children whose parents struggle just to feed them in Haiti's depressed economy. In 2025, 220 children received such sponsorships, an 50-child increase from the prior year. Our ground team validates need and recommends candidates, verifies grade level and tuition cost, and makes payment direct to the schools. When a child fails, we are inclined to support repeating the grade once given the difficult circumstances in the country. The total cost also includes the provision of school uniforms and backpacks, and another 11 boys and girls enrolled in nursing or trade schools, or college programs.
  2. $65,142 spent. Jeremie Rising built 18 simple shelter homes for homeless families in 2025. These are small, 3-4 room structures featuring tin-sheet-on-wood-frame walls and roof, mounted on a concrete pad. These homes feature windows and lockable doors. We also provide mattresses and sheets, solar lanterns, basic household items, and simple clean-water systems for these families.
  3. $53,998 spent. Jeremie Rising manages two orphanages, Foyer des Petites in Gebeau (on the outskirts of Jeremie) and the Roseaux Orphanage in Roseaux (a seaside village 25 minutes from Jeremie). Food, water, cooking fuel, monthly wellness visits, solar power and security are provided, as is ongoing facility maintenance. The orphanages are home to 65 children, including 7 with special needs at Foyer. The orphanages are staffed by a combined total of eight Haitian men and women.
  4. Principal other program services include: packing/shipping/delivery of medications, clothing, tools and other supplies to Jeremie by Agape Flights ($35164); financial support of the Gebeau Clinic, the only medical and eye-care facility in an otherwise underserved area ($22974); mobile medical clinics in six remote villages ($15367); restoration of the church in the village of Testasse following a violent storm ($13000); clean water programs, including digging of a water well in a 200-family village ($12750); financial assistance for 20 medical emergencies, to the nurse caring for the overcrowded Jeremie Jail, and to two Doctors who provide care to the residents of our two orphanages and elder care facility ($11011); full support of the operating budget of Good Samaritan Elder Care facility ($5255).
