Ensuring access to quality education for the whole community

Building on the achievements of the reconstruction and support project for schools damaged by Hurricane Matthew in 2016 carried out by Solidarité Laïque (from 2016 to 2019), "School as a vector of social change in Haiti" acts on a local scale, in particular around the school, to respond to the 3 main challenges of the education sector in Haiti: access to education for all, the quality and conditions of teaching, and the management and participatory governance of education.

To support this project :

The aim of the project

The project will improve access to quality formal and non-formal education for communities in 15 rural and isolated schools in the departments of Grand'Anse, Nippes and Sud - three provinces particularly hard hit by the earthquake of 14 August 2021. It also aims to provide suitable teaching conditions adapted to the needs of the communities. Finally, the project aims to turn the public school into an educational resource centre for community social development.
