HABELE Outer Island Education Fund

ha'be·le
v. trans., to realize a future; fig., to wish
[Ulithian, compound of "to make" and "to be"]

Habele is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of educational opportunities in the remote islands and atolls of Micronesia, an impoverished former American trust territory in the Central Pacific.

Our primary goal is to provide scholarships and tuition-assistance grants to children living in the "low" or "outer" islands, so they can attend independent schools located in the larger district centers. We also support public schools through book donations, material assistance, and native language curriculum development. Habele has no paid employees. All founding board members are former teachers who have lived and taught in the Outer Islands.

The simplest way you can help is to make a donation to Habele. If you prefer to gather supplies such as books, we can either forward them to the schools we work with or provide you with points of contacts for direct mailing. Finally, if you can lend your time and talent to Habele, you will help us in our aim to keep administrative costs as low as possible.

Habele is an IRS-recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Talk to your tax preparer to learn how your gift can serve as a valuable tax deduction.

Thank you and enjoy your visit!
