This is the story of Videline, a Haitian girl living in poverty in the small town of Fond des Blancs, Haiti. Fond des Blancs is located on the southern peninsula in rural Haiti.  The main town is Sainton and has a population of approximately 10,000.  Approximately 80% of people in this region don't finish 5th grade.  Most rely on subsistence level farming, with high employment.  Haitian women are more likely to be illiterate than men, with a male literacy level of about 74% and a female literacy rate of only 32%.  It is estimated that on ½ as many girls complete secondary school as men and just 1/3 of university students in Haiti are women. Videline is a member of an all girls soccer team, run by the non-profit Haiti Projects, a corporation focusing on initiatives to empower women of rural Haiti toward self-sufficiency.  The non-profit  provides access to jobs at fair trade wages, education, health care, and avenues for building sustainable community. Videline not only cultivates friendship and physical activity, but learns about education and other life skills.
