2024 presented significant challenges for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. National life came to a standstill in many regions, particularly in the Artibonite and West departments. Insecurity impacted the entire nation and halted numerous activities. Schools, hospitals, and homes were destroyed, and many people became refugees in their own country.
Yet, despite the recurring violence and interruptions of routine activities, people in parts of the country managed to maintain their way of life. Port-a-Piment stands out as a beacon of hope for a better future.
We are proud that KPP continued working with the populations we serve, and our programs are progressing at a highly satisfactory level. In 2024, Konbit Pou Potapiman made significant strides thanks to the invaluable support of our donors.
Educational Sponsorship:
- KPP provided assistance to 30 families by covering their child’s tuition, fees, as well as necessary school supplies.
- KPP funded the training of 10 young adults in trades such as masonry, flooring, and carpentry, enhancing their employment opportunities.
- KPP provided support to the community school of the village of Jabouin and its 53 students.
