COVID-19 Prevention

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1589396604906{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

There are now over 200 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Haiti. With limited testing however, there are certainly many more cases than this. The coming weeks will be a critical time. To meet this challenge, we’ve focused on prevention, distributing hundreds of COVID-19 Prevention Kits and creating and disseminating digital and printed materials. Learn more about what we’ve been doing at the Children’s Academy and Partner Schools.

Children’s Academy Update

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1588110403211{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]It has been an extraordinarily challenging school year in Haiti. Political unrest disrupted the fall calendar only to give way to COVID-19 this spring. We’re pleased to share that despite this the Children’s Academy has remained resilient, finding ways to stay open to educate students, support parents, enrich the environment, build community, and grow the school through construction. See more Children’s Academy news here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][mk_page_section margin_bottom=”20″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1588102571449{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Partner Schools Update

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1588109893032{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

As with the Children’s Academy, it has been a challenging year for the Partner Schools. All six faced closures in the fall but reopened in the spring at least in some limited fashion until March when COVID-19 shut down all schools in Haiti. During this time we were pleased to see the schools continue to benefit from prior training, construction and meal programs. Learn more about what we’ve been doing at the Partner Schools here.
