A growing infrastructure to provide a quality learning environment and educational experience.

 

Our campus

The campus is situated on a piece of land near the local Catholic Church. After the original tarps were replaced with a small bank of corrugated metal classrooms we then added 4 Sukup grain bins classrooms. From a construction standpoint, these were followed by 3 waterless, flushless toilets, solar panels, rain barrels, fruit trees, a couple of additional classrooms, and a fence.


La Biche, haiti

La Biche is about 100 miles southwest of Port au Prince, which makes for an approximately six-hour drive over gravel roads and moguls through the hilly Haitian terrain. Farming is the most common source of income and food supply in this rural portion of the country, and our students walk from a wide radius to attend school.

The area is subject to a wide array of weather events -- drought, heavy rains and hurricanes -- which can impact food supplies and the all-important educational opportunities we are trying to deliver.


Sukup Homes

Originally designed for grain storage, the Sukup SafeT Homes were modified and developed for use in disaster areas as fast-build solutions. For us, they represent a wonderful partnership that allows our teachers to elevate students' learning environment and experience.

The round design of the homes are perfect for Haiti, as winds spin off the structures and allow them to withstand hurricanes and other weather events. The roofs are double-layered to filter and drain water, and the cupola on top helps release heat to keep the rooms inside cooler than the outside. Structurally, they are held down by ballast boxes that double as garden space. It’s a win-win, win-win scenario, and our students benefit the most
