Haiti is more than its current headlines, and these Haitian changemakers are working to make sure the world knows it.
As the birthplace of the first Black republic, Haiti is seeing new leaders emerge, challenging an education system that erases their identity. Anseye Pou Ayiti is a movement with a mission to transform Haitian schools and communities, connecting students to their culture in their native Kreyol language.
In Haiti, only 1% of students will reach university, and just 20% of teachers are formally trained. Yet, change is happening. In just ten years, Anseye Pou Ayiti has reached 116 primary partner schools, with nearly 90% of their students passing (compared to a 41% national average). This program ensures that teachers, parents and school leaders are change-agents in their communities, creating a growing wave of change across the country.
This is the new Haiti—a country where unity makes strength and education is a human right.
