Computer lab for English students in Haiti

Project Report | Jul 20, 2022
Update from Haiti, summer 2022

By Steph Price | Project leader

Bonjou from EIM Haiti! We just wrapped up our 2022 exam season in rapid time — 175 students in 7 days! It’s amazing what’s possible when you have your own school campus. By offering classes both morning and afternoon, we created a streamlined experience for students and moderators alike. While we don’t have any new graduates to announce, on the whole we had a much higher pass rate than last year, when we were forced to close school at times due to COVID and general insecurity in the country. So overall, a success!

The biggest news of the summer though is the opening of our EIM computer lab! Our 14 seat lab, which is equipped with Chromebooks and high speed internet is a huge step forward in modernizing our school. Not only can our teachers supplement their classes with additional English resources from the web, we can also offer remote classes, and provide a way for our students to do research, look for jobs, and connect with important contacts. Many of our students don’t have regular access to dependable internet, so this is a huge step forward, not just for our school, but for our community as a whole.
