Education is a privilege, not a right in Haiti.
Promise for Haiti believes that education provides hope for a better future! Through the vision of Dr. Guy Theodore and Joanne Schafer, Promise For Haiti partnered with Comite Bienfaisance de Pignon to build and operate nine Christian primary schools, Pre-K through Middle School in the area surrounding Pignon, Haiti. Schools have been built in rural and remote areas outside of Pignon in villages where students otherwise have a very long walk to attend school.
Each school has at least seven classrooms and an administration room where supplies can be stored, a cookhouse to prepare lunch, a well or cistern for drinking water and a latrine. In any given year, there are between 1,500 to 2,000 students enrolled in these Christian primary schools. No student is turned away for an inability to pay for school or a full uniform, so we serve many of the least likely to afford an education. To find out more about sponsoring a student see below.
