For the past 14 years, Aid Still Required has focused on six of Haiti’s most vulnerable communities – villages where most people live in lean-to huts, sleep on dirt floors, and cobble together one small meal per day. ASR’s Whole Community Approach provides the means for villagers to gain self-sufficiency. Through schools (including classes in English and computer sciences, afterschool and weekend tutoring, summer school, uniforms, books and supplies) and in-home medical and psychological care, communities are becoming literate, healthy and self-reliant together, while leaving no one behind.

A true 100% of all donations go directly to Haiti, to Aid Still Required’s all-Haitian team of 100 teachers, trainers, doctors, nurses, and social workers serving in their own communities. No US-based ASR personnel receives compensation in any form, and the ASR Board of Directors covers all US-based expenses. This guarantees that every penny of your dollar is being used in the field where it’s needed most. Our cost per participant is about $50 per year, less than 14¢ per day.

• Due to ASR’s teacher training programs, Aid Still Required’s grammar school graduates attending regional middle and high schools test significantly higher than their peers in the district, with ASR-educated girls out-performing boys. • Teen pregnancies in our communities are down 40%. • Hypertension (and by extension its related diseases) cut in half. • Domestic violence markedly reduced.

Haiti has a long, 533-year history of inhuman oppression. It has never recovered from slavery itself or from the trade embargoes and all-consuming debt forced upon it after winning its freedom from Napoleon’s army in 1804. Today Haitians are experiencing their most challenging and desperate period since slavery. Haitians are terrorized daily by marauding gangs that kill, lynch, kidnap, and sexually assault at will. Gangs control food, water, medical supplies, and traffic, strangling Haiti’s already abject health services and commerce. ½ of Haiti’s population is starving or is on the brink of it. And no one is stepping in to help on a scale that will make a difference. Because of the violence over the past several years, few non-profits remain on the island. Through the support from people like you, Aid Still Required has been able to continue to operate and expand its reach during this unprecedented time.

• Haiti has been the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere for most of the past 200 years. The large majority of Haitians live in utter poverty, subsisting on $1-2/day, living in makeshift huts without electricity, water, or sanitation facilities, and sleeping on dirt floors. • Ever since Christopher Columbus set foot in Haiti in 1492 and enslaved its people, Haitians have endured centuries of subjugation through brutal slavery, murderous dictators, punishing trade blockades, massive debt, and gang takeovers. • Gangs effectively rule the country, controlling Haiti through violence and atrocities, and by restricting the flow of life’s necessities. • Pervasive governmental corruption and Haiti’s largest gangs are supported by international drug and arms cartels. • The United Nations reports that roughly 50% of the populace currently suffers from acute food insecurity. Few Haitians eat more than one small meal per day, and many eat only a few meals per week. • Fewer than 8% of Haitians graduate from high school, and less than 1% graduate from university. Almost all of these graduates come from Haiti’s top economic brackets. Within a few years, Aid Still Required students, all from the most desperate areas, will soon begin graduating high school and university and compete with Haiti’s elite in the workforce
