Insight
According to the 2020 USAID fact sheet on Haiti Education, an average 25-year old Haitian has less than 5 years of schooling. The average literacy rate in Haiti is 61%. There is a shortage of qualified teachers and a lack of Government oversight. The average first grader in Haiti lacks the ability to read or write. School enrollment remains low in schools as costs to attain public education are out of reach for low-income families.
How we Help
Maison Fortuné Orphanage is committed to changing accessibility to education starting within the Hinche community. In 2021, our day-student enrollment will include 222 children from the local community, attending at no cost. These day-students will live with their families while receiving a solid parochial education that would otherwise be out of their reach. We offer preschool starting at age 4 to launch children on a path to success. Because we know it’s hard to succeed on an empty stomach, all students receive a nutritious lunch on campus daily.
