UN reports confirm that 25% all of the schools in Haiti were destroyed and all western Port-au-Prince have been destroyed – leaving hundreds of thousands of children without access to education in a country where 47% of the population are illiterate.
Through partners NDI and EDC, radios will be distributed to provide access to basic education including to orphans. Math, Creole and vital life skills will be broadcasted along with programmes on post-trauma for quake survivors.
Total Funding Received to Date: $810
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $99,190
Total Funding Goal: $100,000
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
NDI will work with its extensive network of Haitian community committees to identify children whose schools were destroyed. The radios will also be used for early warning and disaster response during hurricane season.
"Thousands of vulnerable children can start learning again right away through radio. We cannot allow more time to be lost – education is the is the key to mitigating poverty in their lifetimes"
