Habele’s work connects students, families, and local partners in the Federated States of Micronesia with people who want to help.
Micronesia, in brief.
Micronesia is a region of islands and atolls in the western Pacific. It includes several countries and territories, with distinct languages, cultures, and histories.
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is one country within that region. Its four states, from west to east, are Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. The name “Micronesia” is often used for both the wider region and the FSM.
Where our support goes.
Tuition scholarships help students from across the FSM attend private elementary and high schools within the country.
Young Island Readers sends a book each month to eligible children under five in Yap State, including its Outer Islands. See who can enroll and how.
Habele also continues to support MicSem’s library and archives and canoe carvers in Yap. These commitments grow from longstanding relationships with the people doing the work.
Families and local partners bring their own knowledge, effort, and ambitions. Donors help with the practical costs of education, reading, and sharing knowledge.
Explore the islands in more depth.
Our sister organization, the Habele Institute, offers research, archives, and reference material about Yap and the wider Micronesian region.
