Support Our Students

Sponsoring a student is easier then you think. For only $25 per month -- or 5 Starbuck's coffees -- you can make a significant impact in the lives of our students and open opportunities for them that only an education can provide

FAQ for Sponsoring Our Students:

What does my $25 a month go toward?

If I miss a monthly contribution, will the children still get educated and fed?

Does Open Door have other ministries besides the School?

What if I am no longer able to continue with my school sponsorship commitment?

How is Open Door able to operate for so much less than other sponsorship programs?

What does my $25 a month go toward?

The funds each donor contributes toward sponsoring our students, covers tuition and meal costs for all the students. Included in tuition expenses are teacher salaries, school administration salaries and teacher supplies.

If I miss a monthly contribution, will the children still get educated and fed?

35% of our school sponsors opt to pay a full year’s sponsorship fee up front. This allows us to begin the school year with operating capital, assuring that occasional donor lapses in giving won't impact day to day operations immediately.

If you miss a monthly commitment, please do fulfill your sponsorship obligation as soon as possible, since we base our budget on these pledges.

Does Open Door have other ministries besides the School?

Yes. Open Door has a diverse array of ministries in Haiti that spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our monthly newsletter will keep you informed and up to date on what God is doing through the ministry.

What if I am no longer able to continue with my school sponsorship commitment?

Please notify us as soon as possible so that we are able to ﬁnd additional sponsors for this life changing ministry.

How is Open Door able to operate for so much less than other sponsorship programs?

At this point, additional funding is coming in from other sources to supplement the ministry at Open Door. While all children at Open Door School have access to medical care through Open Door Clinic, the clinic’s funding is not included in your $25 per month contribution. Currently, funds are coming from another source to pay for school books, which cost about $40 per child. Parents are responsible to purchase or make the school uniform for their own child. Support is raised separately to cover staff salaries and expenses of Open Door Haiti in the US. All of these efforts signiﬁcantly defray the cost of our school sponsorship program.
