PRIMARY SCHOOLS
We are privileged to provide a quality Christian education to 1,900+ students in our eight rural primary schools in Northern Haiti. Dedicated staff members strive to cultivate the thrill of learning in student's eager young minds. Students receive a nutritional meal most days, thanks to our partnership with Rise Against Hunger. A school library was built and furnished at Poteau school in 2013, and Tarasse school installed a library in 2014. School libraries are scarce in Northern Haiti, making us incredibly proud of ours. Operational funding for our primary schools mostly comes from student sponsorships and grants.
SECONDARY SCHOOL
Poteau School
As more children's home youth graduated from primary school, we added a secondary school at the school in Poteau. Currently, the school goes through grade 10. Older students attend grades 11 - 13 in the nearby city of Gonaives.
Tarasse Community
Cherismond Delva and team began a secondary school in 2006, adding a class every year. An addition to the school was completed in 2017, providing classrooms through grade 13.
POTEAU VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
In the early days of the children's home, we sent the teenagers into town to learn a trade as apprentices under experienced tradesmen. In 2002, a very successful sewing class of 120 ladies was established at the girls home. In 2007, we constructed a large school building and began offering three year programs in mechanical and electrical training. Classes of computer skills, construction and plumbing have also been offered. We have had the opportunity to partner with Habitat for Humanity and the UN in providing training to young adults that they have selected.
