Education

We currently pay for about 150 children to attend private schools in Haiti annually.  We also run a tutoring and reading enforcement program after school. We have 7 teachers about about 100 children that attend our after-school program.

Our classes are small and designed to give each student as much attention as possible. After much research, we have designed and implemented our own curriculum that focuses on working with each child on an individual basis. We move at the pace of the child and use different teaching methods accordingly. This ensures that the children are learning each new concept and don’t fall behind. We have seen great progress with this approach and helped many children achieve passing grades in their regular private schooling. We are creating literacy in our children and helping them to think critically, two traits that will help to raise them out of poverty.

We have informal talks with the children about money management, values, and culture. We have had extra curriculars like a dance program, running program, girls group, and will soon have a wrestling program.
