Our partner in Pignon, Haiti, has established 17 schools in Pignon and the surrounding communities and was able to establish a School Feeding Program. Many of the students do not receive proper nutrition or even a basic meal before attending school and most would not be attending school at all if it were not for these programs. Currently, there are approx 2,500 students attending and each day, one meal is offered to every child that attends.
