Renew Hope works in the lives of Haiti's children by providing educational and spiritual growth, meeting physical needs, and supporting community development and empowerment programs. The school, founded by Caudle's late wife, Ruth, has about 450 children and is supported through donations. The cost of sending one student to school with tuition, books, and a hot daily lunch is $9.17 per month, so a little bit goes a long way.
