Community School

The future of Haiti is dependent on the education that its children receive, so the CCRP has committed to raising funds for the building of a school in a community that is in need of a primary school.

We are working closely with a local man in St. Marc who has successfully worked with a rural community to help them build a school, and over the next few months we will be following his successful model of community-led school-building to find and work with one of the many communities that are in need of schools.

The model is entirely community-based led, as we will be seeking out a community that is in need of and wants to run a school for their children, and will then work with the leaders in that community to ascertain what the local capacity is to build the school then work help connect them to the resources that are not locally available to enable them to build a school that is owned and controlled by the collective community.
