We partnered with P4H Global to adopt five schools in Cap-Haitien in Haiti that do not have any funding for proper teacher training. Sixty teachers will receive special training so their 3,000 students will receive a quality education and transform the Haitian education system.

According to a Harvard University article published in the International Education Journal, Haiti's education needs support to rebuild especially following the devastation of the earthquake that destroyed peoples lives and along with some of the universities. Almost 80% of the country's primary school teachers are not formally trained, over half of students do not complete primary school, and only 1% of students reach university.

"A high-quality teaching workforce—the bedrock of all high-performing education systems—is the single most important factor in improving student learning." Quality teachers are at the heart of developing the talent of the next generation. They underpin the educational investments that will drive growth; they stand at the crossroads of sectoral, service delivery, public financial management, and civil service reform." World Bank, 2015.

We came across P4H Global who is on a mission to tackle the lack of teacher training in underdeveloped countries. Their outreach in Haiti is designed to radically transform the country’s educational system. P4H believes in training People to Transform Nations. They firmly believe that sustainable development requires the empowerment of local leaders. From educators in developing countries to organizations across the globe, P4H Global equips individuals and communities through innovative programs.

Mite and P4H believe that effective education can help end economic poverty in Haiti. With these Teacher Training Programs, we hope to improve the quality of education and empower every teacher, leading to higher rates of student success. Through sponsoring these schools and their training programs, 3000 students will benefit from a higher standard of education that can help them in turn to have access to more life and career opportunities, generation after generation.
