TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION IN HAITI
Pope Francis
Scholas Haiti connects socio-emotional education with care
of the environment according to the Encyclical Laudato Si' of Pope Francis.
These are some of our key projects:
This initiative, born in response to the main concern expressed by local youth, aims to transform schools into waste recovery centers, promoting environmental awareness in communities through play, art, and thought. Its main protagonists are young people, local artists, and educators. It has already been implemented in more than 20 schools and educational centers in Port-au-Prince.
More than 4,000 children and 1,000 young people have participated in these programs, developing socio-emotional skills, critical thinking, and creativity, with the goal of becoming active and engaged citizens capable of making a positive difference within their families and communities. By promoting a culture of encounter, they learn to connect with their surroundings, fostering a respectful and responsible relationship with themselves, their community, and nature.
These educational kits have been delivered to more than 1,100 families, helping children learn and develop social-emotional skills through play, art, thought, and Haitian folklore.
Young Haitians participate in international training and programs, with the aim of strengthening local leadership and supporting local programs.

(2024-2026)
Inspired by Pope Francis´ encyclical "Laudato Si" and his vision of Integral Ecology, we promote socio-environmental awareness through play, art and critical thinking. We develop trainings for the creation of vegetable gardens from an intergenerational approach and we promote sustainable agricultural practices.
Together, these efforts seek to promote sustainability and strengthen connections between communities, creating a powerful foundation for collaboration, learning, and long-term change.
