A ten-year plan, written down.
Thirty families in Year 1. One hundred by Year 3. Four hundred and a Tech Center by Year 10. Each milestone earns the next. Outcomes are published before enrollment grows. Capital is raised only after demand is proven.
Each milestone earns the next.

This is a decade-long commitment.
A small foundation, trying to change the course of one community by a few degrees over ten years. Not a sweeping savior narrative. Not "ending poverty in Haiti." A specific commitment: thirty Cap-Haïtien families, expanding to four hundred, with a Tech Center at the end and Darline's story repeated many times over.
