Thank you for supporting ambitious men and women in Haiti who work hard to learn skills in the construction trades so they can find work, provide for their families, and build a stronger Haiti.

Over these past months we had a number of Level 1 (introductory) classes and launched our Practicum program to give our graduates more hands-on experience.

  • Welding Level 1: Nine (9) out of the 10 students that started the class passed and received a certificate. The tenth student had to drop out due to medical issues, and we have invited him back when he is healthy. Our Haiti-based team planned, organized, and led the class - a big accomplishment.
  • Masonry Level 1: 15 students were selected out of 22 applicants, with 12 receiving a certificate. As part of the planning of the class, numerous improvements were made to the curriculum and student manual.
  • Welding Level 1 (second): currently in process. Due to limitations with our welding equipment we have six (6) students in this class learning the fundamentals of arc welding.
  • Practicum program: we launched our "hands-on, apprenticeship-type" training program to help alumni gain more real-world experience on actual construction work sites. All the documentation, programming, and structure for the program was built this quarter and tested. Numerous projects have been used as Practicum trainings, from masonry walls to electrical installations to plumbing.

We are very thankful for joining us in this work!

With your support Q4 of 2020 ended well! In 2020 our goal was to raise $10,000 in funds to use toward student scholarships.  This goal was passed! We raised $11,461.08.

In October, November, and December we were able to complete four (4) classes. (two (2) - masonry class and two (2) - welding classes) In those classes, we had a total of 47 students, completing the year with a total of 115 students and a 92% pass rate.

We plan to more than double the amount of courses offered during 2021. In addition, Extollo will be opening up a second campus in Haiti's capital.

We look forward to continuing to provide scholarships to seeking students as funds allow. We appreciate your support for this project!

This quarter has been very challenging. In March, we had 15 recipients of scholarship funds start a new welding class. After only a few days of classes, the decision was made to postpone this class and send students home in order to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19.  

We are pleased to report that these same students were able to return to campus and complete their course at the end of June. 

Our goal for this project was to raise enough funds to provide scholarships to 180 men and women. To date, we have raised 58% of our goal to provide scholarships to 180 students. At the end of Q2-2020 we have provided scholarship funds to 55 students through 4 courses. 

We continue to have a high demand for upcoming classes and look forward to continuing to provide scholarships to seeking students as funds allow. We appreciate your support for this project!
