Improving Education in Mategouasse, Haiti

Education for children in this rural region is very poor, revealed to be some of the worst conditions in the country. There are no public schools, and the few private school are overcrowded and lack adequate facilities and teaching material. With the funding from Village Church, FH Haiti staff are able to spend time with families, sharing the importance of education and how they as a community must rise up to value quality education for all children. 

Some specific activities this year include FH-facilitated teacher training focusing on topics from classroom management to effective teaching techniques. These teachers will be equipped with foundational teaching methodologies to apply and adapt to the challenges of their respective contexts. As well, FH staff are working with church pastors who act as school administrators to improve support for teachers and encourage teachers and parents to work more closely to improve their children’s education.
