Coreluv, International hasn't added a story.
My name is Kate Colston, and I’ve started an important, year-long project - an Orphan Education Initiative. While I have always had a passion for learning, I never understood the significance of the gift of my free education until my mother sent me to Haiti in 2014. I worked with Coreluv, International and served at an orphanage in the village of Maya. I had the incredible privilege to witness the care and provision for a small group of Haitian children that now call this orphanage home for a wide variety of reasons. A new kind of joy began to envelope my heart, and I have been forever changed by this experience. I have since returned to Haiti twice, and with each trip, my heart breaks even more for these children, and for the other 151 million orphans in the world. I am so thankful that the people behind this organization stepped up and act as a voice for these beautiful children that were orphaned at such a young age.
Today, God has shown me that there are even more children all around the world that do not have access to a basic, elementary education. Simply by graduating high school, I will have more pedigree, more prestige, and more power than over 50% of the global population. I believe that an education is the best way for any child to escape poverty. A basic education provides children not only with a better understanding of our world, but also a safe place to discover their dreams. In 1948, the United Nations declared that everyone has the right to an education. Every person in this world has the right to learn. However, millions of children are growing up without this opportunity, because of circumstances beyond their control. It is estimated that girls collectively spend over 800,000 hours collecting water for their families every day, instead of going to school. We have the opportunity to provide for the next generation of doctors, lawyers, artists, and world-changers, so that they might realize their dreams, roles, and responsibilities in this world. I ask that you prayerfully consider partnering with this education initiative through donation and sharing this campaign, to give these children the gift of hope and opportunity.
I am starting this project with the Coreluv school in Maya, Haiti. I am excited to see how the Lord can use this goal to impact these children. One-hundred percent of all donations will provide for teacher salaries, supplies, and uniforms for children throughout the next school year. Thank you in advance for your support - I truly believe that we can change the world together.
