Their Goal. Your Assist.
Every day in Léogâne, Haiti, children step onto GOALS' fields with ambitions of their own. They want to stay in school, become stronger players, help their families, lead, and build a better future.
In soccer, an assist can change the game. It's the pass that creates an opening and turns possibility into achievement. But some of the most meaningful assists happen beyond the field.
In Haiti, ongoing insecurity and uncertainty continue to affect daily life. For children and families in the rural communities where we work, having a safe, consistent place to learn, play, connect, and grow is more important than ever.
At GOALS Haiti, we see what becomes possible when young people have that support over time.
This year, 18 young adults completed their time as GOALS participants after growing up in our programs. Laura was one of them.
When asked what she had gained from her experience at GOALS, Laura shared:
“Having trust in myself and being able to make important decisions that will benefit my life.”
That confidence didn't develop overnight. It grew through years of soccer, education, meals, mentorship, and opportunities to lead. Through everyday experiences that helped Laura build the skills and confidence to shape her own future.
And the impact doesn't end with one generation. As another GOALS participant, Lucchinny, shared, his generation wants to help ensure that future generations have the same opportunities they did.
Today, more than 350 children rely on GOALS for coaches, tutors, meals, and safe spaces where they can learn, play, and grow. Each day brings new opportunities to build confidence, develop leadership skills, and imagine what comes next.
Their goals belong to them. Our role, together with supporters like you, is to help create opportunities for them to pursue those goals and, one day, create opportunities for others.
Laura's journey reminds us what years of consistent support can make possible.
This year-end, we invite you to Give the Assist and help the next generation pursue goals of their own.
