Haiti Mercy Mission
Haiti Mercy Mission

Most education for the youth of Haiti is provided by mission groups like ours. It is a privilege and an honor for a Haitian child to
be able to go to school. Each child is required to have a uniform and shoes to go to school and many schools charge tuition to
pay the salaries of the teachers. It is not uncommon for a school to be 1 or 2 years behind on paying the teachers and this often
causes a strike by the teachers to make a statement that they need to be paid. Many schools also try to provide a noon meal for
the children and the teachers. This is often the only meal they will get for the day. It is hard to learn when you are hungry. All of
the above conditions make running a school a burden on any mission that tries to provide education. So you may ask why do it?
Most mission schools, ours included, use a bible based curriculum which is a great way to teach a whole community about
Christ. The children learn in school and share with there family at home. We also believe that education is the best way to give a
child a chance at a better economic future.
On this page we will begin to give you details of the several schools we have and the costs associated with running that school
in the hope the God will speak to people and but a burden on their hearts to help out a school with monthly support.
In Pignon we have a High school with enrollment of 500
students.
The High school is a two story block building with eight
rooms that is a work in progress. The walls need to be
plastered and painted we need better sanitary facilities
and a generator for electricity to run computers and
such.
We need funds to pay teachers and also provide a meal
per day we currently do not have a noon meal.
We had a elementary school here but closed it and
moved all the students to the Cogan school that is just
out of town. About 2 miles from the high school we did
this to consolidate costs of two elementary schools.
