You can provide the skills people needed to build more productive and stable lives

Many facets of Haitian society are unequal, including internet access, computer skills, and education. Additionally, most Haitians cannot afford higher education. Those who graduate from high school do so without gaining many marketable skills. There are no trade schools in FdB either as an alternative to college. Those with the means could consider traveling to Port-au-Prince, but It's no longer safe to travel to due to security concerns. As a result, many people are economically disadvantaged and left with few options. With the help of this program, we hope to alleviate this problem by assisting adults and young adults in their pursuit of professional growth and employment. Learn more about the project here.

Project Description

Inequality exists in many aspects of Haitian society, including internet access, computer literacy, and education. Higher education is out of reach for the majority of Haitians. Those who complete high school do so without the education system equipping them with the skills that will make them valuable in the job market. As a result, many young adults are financially disadvantaged and lack educational opportunities. Job options are scarce in FdB, and there are no trade schools. Individuals in this situation are frequently forced to relocate. However, this comes with its own set of difficulties. Port-au-Prince (PauP) is mostly inaccessible due to security concerns, and simply arriving there does not lower the risk of danger. Those lucky enough to make it to countries like the United States, Dominican Republic, Canada, or Brazil risk discrimination or deportation. These factors point to the need to help adults and young adults develop themselves further and find gainful employment.
