Education in Haiti

Richard Ireland discusses his non-profit organization “Education for Haiti.” He looks at the challenges of  international intervention – the good and the bad of it. Mr. Ireland served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Haiti from 1998 to 2001.  Upon his return, he decided to help kids in Haiti by providing tuition. For ten years he sent money to six families and asked them to spend it on tuition. Upon visiting in 2011, he discovered that his intervention of just $200 for each family had an amazing impact. He then decided to start a non-profit in order to continue support for students. See educationforhaiti.org for further information.
