1. Background and School Reopening
The third quarterly reporting period coincides with the reopening of schools in Haiti for the 2026–2027 academic year. However, the three schools partnering with Action et Transformation were unable to resume classes on the official reopening date established by the Haitian government, September 7, 2026.
Two of the partner schools managed to reopen on the official date, while the third school, Boisrond Tonnerre School in Doco, located in the Marmont communal section of Hinche, which receives support through donations raised via GlobalGiving, was unable to resume classes until October 2026.
2. Challenges Facing Children and Their Families
Unfortunately, the donations requested from supporters have not yet materialized to the extent needed to meet the children's educational needs. As a result, many families continue to face significant financial difficulties in providing their children with the essential supplies required to resume school.
Parents of children attending Boisrond Tonnerre School in Doco have made extraordinary sacrifices to ensure their children's return to the classroom. Faced with severe economic hardship, some parents have even reduced their own food consumption and made considerable personal sacrifices to save the little income they earn and cover their children's school-related expenses.
Their determination reflects the importance they attach to their children's education, despite the difficult socioeconomic conditions they face.
Nevertheless, many children still lack essential learning materials, particularly textbooks and other educational resources. These shortages may negatively affect their participation in classroom activities, their learning progress, and their overall academic performance.
3. Academic Progress and Expected Results
At the time of writing this report, no academic results are yet available for the current school year. The first academic assessments are expected to take place in November 2026. These assessments will provide an initial opportunity to evaluate the children's learning progress and identify areas requiring additional support.
Action et Transformation remains committed to monitoring the children's educational progress and working with partner schools and families to improve access to quality education.
4. Request for Additional Support from GlobalGiving
In light of these challenges, Action et Transformation respectfully appeals to GlobalGiving to give special consideration to the needs of children in Haiti by allocating a portion of the relief funds raised for Haiti to the project Support the Schooling of 300 Children in Haiti.
Specifically, we request additional financial support to provide children attending Boisrond Tonnerre School in Doco with essential learning materials, particularly school textbooks and other educational resources.
This targeted assistance would help reduce the financial burden on vulnerable families, enable children to participate more effectively in classroom activities, and create better conditions for learning and academic achievement during the 2026–2027 school year.
We need textbooks for 100 students, including 45 girls and 55 boys. To this end, we are requesting US$7,692.30, which amounts to US$76.923 per child.
Given the poor results from the previous year, the provision of educational materials will help improve expected academic performance.
We firmly believe that investing in these children's education will contribute to improved learning outcomes and help them pursue their education with greater confidence and dignity.
Action et Transformation sincerely appreciates GlobalGiving's continued commitment to supporting vulnerable communities. We hope that this request will receive favorable consideration and that, through our continued partnership, we can help ensure that financial hardship does not prevent children in rural Haiti from accessing the educational resources they need to succeed.
