1 EDU PROJECT BREAK THE BARRIERS PROGRAM

2 GOAL Education in Haiti: Going to school means to survive We converted the street schools of: St. Philomene Notre Dame du Rosaire St. Augustin into safe and functioning structures. 2 Next step Embracing two more communities converting the street schools of: St. Raphael Manitane Dame Marie Every day, 30 primary schools and 1 secondary school (the only free one in the country) ensure a warm meal to more than 10,000 children between 2 and 16 years of age in the poorest suburbs of Port au Prince and the provinces. This is often their only meal of the day and they are also provided with vaccines and medical treatment, a clean uniform, books, pencils and exercise books and education to build their future by transmitting them values and positive experiences, confidence in themselves and the world around them. Pasta and food are given to the children to help their siblings at home as well. There are over 300 teachers and almost 50% of them are young people who grew up in Haiti s NPH Orphanage, which means that this way they could find a job that allows them to survive. 3

3 EducationAL EducationAL Project background The St. Augustin, St. Philomene, Manitane Dame Marie, St. Raphael and Notre Dame du Rosaire Schools are situated in the most remote areas of the Island. Overthere the infrastructures and the basics services are not provided by the haitian authorities; there is a lack of schools and clean water, the routes are isolated, the uneployment is the normal condition where the families live. There is no public transport to reach St. Augustin. The economic activities of the area are minimal and they generate low revenues. The residents breed livestock and they practice a traditional agriculture. The commercial exchange is underdeveloped due to the transportation costs and the inaccessibility of the routes. For the school year 2013/2014 the Andrea Bocelli Foundation adopted 3 street schools: children St. Augustin Street School (600 children) in Abricots 4 The Saint Luc street schools The Street schools are part of the outreach activities that Saint Luc carries out in the slums and the poorest provinces. The entire workforce and leadership in Saint Luc is Haitian. The street schools have been set up for children whose families are too poor to go to school, eat and be treated if they are ill. They have been described with the Creole word encadrement : a loving embrace, a welcoming approach, protection from the risks of living in the street, guidance to build a future that these children would not otherwise have. The results of this programme already show that 70% of children who go to school do not contract HIV and are kept away from crime.
