2026/27 : In Haiti, equipping a rural school with furniture
Haiti is one of the least developed countries in the world and the poorest in the Americas-Caribbean region (source: UN). For several years, the country has been suffering from a political, social and security crisis, symbolized by armed mafia gangs taking control of the capital, Port-au-Prince, and spreading terror.
Here, given the failure of the public education system, education is almost entirely provided by private, religious, or charitable institutions. The needs are immense.
The Marie Dominique de LORY parish primary school, belonging to the Divine Mercy parish, is located in Milot, 12 km south of Cap-Haïtien, the main city on Haiti's northern coast.
In previous years, local support helped provide the school with access to drinking water, improve student safety, and begin renovating the classrooms (37 three-person desks for 111 students).
Fondation La Petite Etoile is participating in this project aimed at fully equipping the school : a local carpenter will build 18 three-person desks (completing the 55 desks needed for the 163 elementary students), 12 round tables and 60 small chairs for the 60 kindergarten students, and 9 desks with chairs for the teachers.
