What are the schools like in Haiti and why is there such a need?
There are schools available for only 62% of the elementary school students and only 18% of the secondary school students. And of those, only about 10% of Haiti’s schools are public – the rest are private. It costs approximately about $8 USD to send a child to public school in Haiti, compared to $50-$300 USD or more per child for private school. Most of the people cannot afford that private school tuition. The government has little resources for building schools, especially secondary schools.
