HavServe International Academy is a high quality education environment in rural Haiti providing leadership development education to children in extreme poverty. Team HavServe gives its children a pathway out of poverty through quality education, a focus on leadership development, and a commitment to Haiti’s strong values of liberty and dignity.

The Problem

Of that 50 percent of children enrolled in elementary school, fewer than 20 percent will graduate from 6th grade. Less than 10 percent will pass the national exams. While the government provides universal free education, school uniforms and books are cost prohibitive, and there is a debilitating shortage of teachers. Many teachers in rural communities usually are not educated beyond the 6^th grade.

Be Part of the Solution: Primary and Secondary Education

HavServe believes the next generation is the future of Haiti and that education is the key to success for these children. HavServe runs a school for 100 children and provides support and training to 1250 primary students in six other elementary schools.

Because we believe in helping Haitians help each other, empowering local teachers is the most conducive way to improving education nationwide across Haiti. Each year, HavServe works with hundreds of teachers to conduct trainings on curriculum development, teaching methods, parent-teacher interaction, grading, and more. By encouraging local communities to take responsibility for their future, we are changing a nation, one child at a time.
