STUDENTS

STUDENTS Program

Educating 1,100 students in 7 partner schools.

The Need
Nearly 50% of school age children don’t go to school. 90% of schools must rely solely on enrollment fees to support their work. Unfortunately, families – more than 50% of Haitians live on less than a $1 a day – can’t afford to pay much and schools scrape by just to survive. Teachers regularly go unpaid, facilities are dreadfully inadequate, and students lack even basic educational materials.

The Partner School Strategy
Haiti Partners is following a sustainable model for education developed by a grassroots organization in a remote area of Haiti. This model has shaped our Partner School strategy. We select schools with strong leadership but lacking in resources. With them, we develop an accord and work plan for supporting them over the course of three years by providing seed capital to create a social enterprise, teacher training, and funds to improve their building.

Goals
To help students:

  • Develop their God-given potential
  • Cultivate their sense of character and personal responsibility
  • Become engaged citizens and community members

To help the school:

  • Engage teachers, parents, and students to continually improve their school
  • Become sustainable long-term
  • Share their learning with others to replicate success
