Primary Schools
Education is the only way to create real change in Haiti. In 2013, NGH began a program to assist primary schools in the country’s rural, Petite-Riviere-de-Nippes region. This region of the country is one of the poorest in all of Haiti. Twelve schools now receive financial assistance through our program annually.
The region is home to approximately 30,000 Haitians, the majority living in extreme poverty. Some of this region’s schools have been without textbooks for many years. Also, prior to our involvement, had never received assistance from any one or any organizations within Haiti and outside of the country.
There are well over 2,500 children within the twelve primary schools that we assist. NGH has funded the building and construction of a new school, we provide text books and work books each school year, uniforms for those in need, significant amount of school supplies and also, critical building repairs such as roof maintenance and plumbing to make the school operable.
