Grand-Sable Kindergarten and Elementary School
Hope for Haiti has been working with the administration of Ecole du St. Espirit
de Grande Sable since 2006. At that time the small school in Grand-Sable,
Ile-a-Vache provided preschool through second grade classes for 35 children
whose families did not have the means to pay the costs associated with private
or public education. Because there are no other schools in Grand Sable most
children have to walk up to three hours a day to schools in other villages. Many
of these children have poor attendance because they cannot make it to school
on days when the weather is bad and they are unable to cross one of the many
waterways on the island. Ecole du St. Espirit de Grande Sable was a one room
school with a dirt floor, palm frond walls and a tin roof destroyed during the
2007 hurricane season.
In 2009 Hope for Haiti built a five classroom school for the community of Grand
Sable. The new Ecole du St. Espirit provides free education to 150
impoverished children. Although the new school has increased enrollment by
nearly fivefold, over 100 children were not able to attend the school once it
reached full capacity. In order to provide an education to these children an
additional five classrooms will be added to the school accommodating 300
children in total.

Support a child's education.
Many children cannot afford the costs of education in Haiti because the
average family makes less than $1 a day. The government does not provide
adequate funding for public schools and most families cannot afford the costs
of private education. Hope for Haiti assists families who do not have the means
to educate their children. We believe the best way to help fight poverty is to
help the poor help themselves through educational opportunities. For as little
as $50 you can support a child's education for one year. For more information,
please see our current projects.
