The National School Canteens Program (PNCS) has resupplied certain schools in the West department located in areas in difficulty, including the National School of Cité Soleil, the Lycée de Cité Soleil, the National School of Varreux, the National School, Republic of Guatemala, the National High School of La Saline, the National School of Application, of Martissant, the National School Republic of Peru.

Priority has been given to these schools because of the prevailing insecurity and precariousness. Some of them have been forced to close their doors for months to find refuge in neighboring schools. Thanks to the efforts made by the Minister of National Education and Vocational Training, Mr. Nesmy Manigat, these schools were able to return to their old building, and suddenly, allow students to return home.

In order to meet their nutritional needs and contribute to their continued presence in the classrooms, the PNCS took charge of the canteen of these schools, attended by thousands of schoolchildren.

This action undertaken by the PNCS follows the operation to restock food for school canteens in the departments of Centre, Artibonite, North, North-East and North-West carried out with the assistance of the Cooperation Service and Cultural Action of the French Embassy (SCAC), which donated 88.75 tons of rice and 5.5 tons of beans during the month of May.
