They wantonly terrorize Haitis residents through killings, public hangings, kidnappings, sexual assaults and other atrocities, and control the flow of food, medical supplies, commerce and traffic. If parents dare to send their kids to school, they have no assurance theyll ever see them again. Just this morning, a gang in Pont-Sond massacred 78 civilians in cold blood in the wee hours of the morning.Even in the best of times, most Haitians live on less than $2 per day, in makeshift huts, sleeping on dirt floors, averaging one meal per day, and are treated as second-class citizens by their literate peers.No people on Earth have endured more oppression and subjugation over the past 500 years than Haitians. From 1492, when Columbus immediately enslaved the native Haitian people, to Frances and Spains 200 years of brutal slave tactics, to the historic trade blockades enforced by France and the ransom demanded by it for decades after Haitis successful slave rebellion in 1804, to the 19-year occupation by the United States Marines beginning in 1915, to the domination of autocrats and gangs throughout the past 200 years, Haitians have had a very raw deal.Haitis government is deeply corrupt, endowed by the gun trade and drug cartels. Its school system is regarded as the worst in the world, with fewer than 8% graduating high school and 1% graduating university. Its low literacy rate, almost non-existent vocational training, and bleak job market leave Haitians with no built-in pathways to better lives.We believe everyone, everywhere is entitled to live in dignity, health and peace, no matter their circumstances. We believe in the unlimited potential of all people, including those highly impoverished and those forgotten after natural disasters and human crises. Haiti is rife with poverty, disasters and crises. That, plus the loving, dedicated bonds weve developed with our leaders and participants, is why weve found a home there, and why weve put 100% of our focus on the countrys most vulnerable communities for the past 14 years.While Haiti suffers through its latest crisis, ASRs Whole Community Approach is lifting shattered communities, leaving no one behind. Through our five Pre-K through 6th Grade schools, vocational training, and in-home medical and psychological care, our curriculum is transforming the lives of thousands of Haitis least secure children (30% of whom are orphaned) and their adult caregivers:Aid Still Requireds grammar school graduates test significantly higher than their peers in the region, with ASR-educated girls out-performing the boys from all schools.Teen pregnancies are down 50% (a radical shift for girls, their mothers, and their communities).Hypertension (and by extension its related diseases) cut in half.Domestic violence markedly reduced.100% of all contributions to Aid Still Required go directly to the field - to our all-Haitian team of 90 teachers, trainers, doctors, nurses and social workers, all working in their own communities. No US-based personnel receive remuneration of any kind, and ASRs board of directors covers all US-based expenses, so every dollar donated goes where the need is greatest.In a world of haves and have-nots, we have encountered no greater underdog and no more resilient and appreciative people than those whom we support in Haiti. Thank you for partnering with us and bringing a new day to the dear people of Haiti. 231759 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false true true false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Aid Still Required 3104544646 P O Box 7353 Santa Monica CA 90406 X Sue Shalley Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hunter Payne President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Maureen Charles Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Debra Poneman Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 258085 258085 0 70 70 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 258155 70 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3474 3474 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Field Program Services 228918 228918 Outside Services 1900 1900 Bank Charges 941 941 0 235233 231759 3474 0 21183 35386 7519 15702 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28702 51088 2005 1469 2005 1469 X 26697 49619 26697 49619 28702 51088 22922 X false false false X 227397 195773 339913 179360 258085 1200528 0 0 227397 195773 339913 179360 258085 1200528 0 1200528 9 70 79 0 0 1200607 0.99990 1.00000 X Central Amer. & the Caribbean 0 0 Program Services Social Services 100855 Central Amer. & the Caribbean 0 0 Program Services Children Services 82921 Central Amer. & the Caribbean 0 0 Program Services Adult Services 47983 231759 231759 false false false false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Hunter Payne is co-founder of the organization, President, CEO, and a member of the Board of Directors.
