Introducing The Vertile Foundation…..

We are so thrilled to introduce you to The Vertile Foundation.  The Vertile Foundation supports 15 children in Carrefour, Haiti (right outside of Port-au-Prince).  Those 15 children live in The Vertile House where they are provided with a safe haven and access to education.  We are so happy to be providing all 15 children with uniforms!

 
More from The Vertile Foundation:


The Vertile Foundation was founded by Haitian national and Colorado resident, Rico Changeux, following the devastation of the 2010 earthquake. Named in honor of Rico's late mother, The Vertile House was built around the Changeux family home and is currently home and school for 15 children between the ages of 6 and 13, who may otherwise find themselves struggling to survive on the streets.

The Vertile House is a youth center in Carrefour, Haiti on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. The Vertile House provides a safe home, food, clothing, education, and vocational training for our children. By emphasizing personal growth and development, we hope to provide opportunities for these children where none existed. The Vertile Foundation is committed to teaching youth in this region to break the cycle of excruciating poverty, disease and illiteracy and become empowered individuals and leaders in their community. 


We were connected with The Vertile Foundation through a dear friend of Tailored for Education(THANK YOU MARY) and could not be more excited to work with an organization doing such amazing things for the children of Haiti.  As we move forward we will be sure to share our progress!  For all of you that made this partnership possible, THANK YOU!
