Anis Zunuzi School

  Anis Zunuzi School, built in the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, is surrounded by dusty roads, noisy markets and poverty. However, the school itself is an oasis of tranquility, set on lovely treed acreage, surrounded by flowers, plants and gardens. Since the school charter states that the poorest of Haiti's children are to be served, most of the 233 students attending the school have scholarship assistance. The challenging academic program is taught by well-trained teachers dedicated to infusing moral and spiritual fundamentals into their curriculum. But the daily insecurities of an unstable society, intermittent electricity, hungry families and a lack of security make the educational process a challenge for the staff and students at Zunuzi. Despite these obstacles, the staff of the K-10 school is determined to develop their school to encourage students to become active participants in the strengthening of their country. Next year the school will add another grade and continue until it is a full high school, offering the opportunity of taking national exams. Click here to learn more.
