Combating Poverty…
One Classroom at a Time !
Although education is “free” in Haiti, only half of all children are enrolled in primary school. This is because 92% of schools are private, leaving most families unable to pay school fees. In addition, the prohibitive cost of uniforms, books and other school materials make them unaffordable to many. The average yearly cost to send a child to school is estimated at $550.00 in urban areas and $330.00 in the countryside.
