Locally Haiti

Education: pre-school, primary and secondary: Locally Haiti supports operations at st. paul's pre-school, primary, and secondary school in petit trou. At the start of the 2022-2023 school year, 527 students were enrolled in st. paul's unique and holistic educational services, which include traditional coursework in addition to hands-on experience in agriculture, girls' empowerment, and entrepreneurship. Enrollment increased 19 percent from the previous school year. Higher education: Locally Haiti has funded higher education scholarships for over 30 students since its founding. In 2022, Locally Haiti funded three higher education tudents: moise, micheline, and rolande. Educational infrastructure: in 2022, Locally Haiti funded the improvement or installation of key components of infrastructure on campus, including: - completion of second phase of an expansion of the st. paul's farm & agricultural education center, this included drilling of a well, internal fencing, and completion of exterior wall. - completion of a new secondary school on st. paul's campus. - completion of a new staff residence on st. paul's campus. - safe and professionally supervised demolition of two older, unsafe structures. - planning and design for improved access to bathrooms on campus.

Girls' empowerment: Locally Haiti partners with local leaders and expert haitian organizations to provide dedicated programming for girls' empowerment in petit trou. This includes paying and training local mentors and community activists, financial support for girls' clubs and activities, and funding practical trainings for girls and young women.

Health: Locally Haiti aims to reinforce the capacity of local health leaders and care providers through collaboration with the local government health center. Activities include the following: - training and funding of 41 community health workers. - direct support of the local clinic in petit trou de nippes - reinforcement and creation of synergies between health, agriculture, education, and girls' empowerment. - design and engineering for a new community hospital in petit trou de nippes.

Agriculture & food security: Locally Haiti supports family farms by providing access to seed, tools, goats, beehives, and trainings through consultations with three full-time staff agronomists in petit trou. In addition, agronomists work with students at st. paul's school, providing formal instruction in the classroom as well as weekly hands-on learning sessions working on the campus farm. Agronomists also visit with families of st. paul's students and staff, providing resources and consultation that increase outputs and access to nutrition. Finally, agronomists partner with community health workers to help food gardens and family farms increase yields and enhance access to nutrition for the most vulnerable families in petit trou. Health infrastructure: on august 14, 2021 a devastating earthquake struck just 5 miles from petit trou de nippes, our partner community of over 34 years. Lives were lost and many buildings were damaged, including the only health center for the community. In response to that disaster, and as detailed in last year's audit and 990, Locally Haiti provided direct support for mobile health clinics, food and cash aid programs, housing, infrastucture, and more. In 2022 Locally Haiti focused on raising funds and convening partners around a long-term solution to healthcare in petit trou-a replacement for the health clinic, which has been deemed unsafe by several teams of independent engineers. At the request of, and in close coordination with, the ministry of health in nippes, Locally Haiti has taken the lead role on this Project. Lh has engaged msaada architects for design and engineering and conducted a public campaign to fund the new hospital. We expect that by the end of 2023, we will have broken ground on a new facility.
