Helping youth flourish in their education, families, & communities through quality education.
OUR MISSION
At Project Fleri, we believe that education is the most powerful tool in creating long-term change.
We work with families in Vivi Michelle to break the cycle of poverty through quality education. We take a holistic approach to make sure their emotional, physical & nutritional needs are met in order for them to academically flourish.
Quality education is not possible unless every child has the resources & support they need to succeed. This is why we work with the families, local community & social workers to ensure their educational success.
OUR STORY
Emily Booth was 13 when the devastating earthquake struck Haiti and she has been dedicated to helping its people ever since. Once she gained her passion for helping those in Haiti, she began traveling there multiple times a year to support the community of Morne L’hopital. During her time in Haiti, she has formed a family-like relationship with the people of the St. Judes parish. Through these close relationships, Emily acquired an awareness of what Haitians genuinely need to succeed, and she decided that it was time for her to take up her own initiative to support those who she has grown so close to throughout the years.
In 2019, Emily followed her dreams of starting Project Fleri to help the kids she the people she loves to flourish in their careers, families, and education. She founded the Welcome House as a transitional home for orphaned children and has since created an educational program that has helped 150 children in the area receive an education.
She hopes to continue to expand this education program with the belief that quality education will provide these children with infinite opportunities to flourish in their lives.
OUR TEAM
The Project Fleri team works directly with the children & families in our program and takes a unique approach to ensure every child’s success. We are wholeheartedly committed to each of these children with a focus on providing them a quality & holistic education.
