Hurricane Matthew destroyed a lot of schools. One of the most important parts of rebuilding southern Haiti and helping affected children is getting them back to school.

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) Haiti, in coordination with the Ministry of National Education and UNICEF, is providing nearly $1.5 million to restore educational capacity in Grand’Anse, Nippes, and South.

Across the three departments, this partnership will restore 50 schools and support the distribution of 45,000 kits to school-age children.

Schools will be equipped with instructional materials, furniture, school bags and 1,000 kits will be distributed to teachers.
