UNICEF Haiti

Il y a un mois, les écoles en #Haïti ont rouvert leurs portes pour accueillir les enfants.    Grâce au soutien de The World Bank, Education Cannot Wait (ECW), du Gouvernement du Japon, de la Fondation Carlos Slim, de Sida, de la Banque Interaméricaine de Développement, et du MENFP | Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale et de la Formation Professionnelle en collaboration avec l’UNICEF, les établissements scolaires ont pu rouvrir pour l’année académique 2025-2026.    Dans un pays où l’insécurité a détruit ou transformé de nombreuses écoles en abris pour les familles déplacées, ce retour en classe est pour des milliers d’enfants un pas vers l’espoir, la stabilité et l’avenir.    L’UNICEF reste pleinement engagé à garantir à chaque enfant un environnement d’apprentissage sûr, inclusif et protecteur. #pourchaqueenfant 🩵

“I learn every day, I love school, and I want to become a doctor.”  Raymond, 9 years old, 4th-grade student. In a context where access to education is challenged by insecurity, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and SIDA continue to support children like Raymond through the distribution of school kits. Thanks to this partnership with the MENFP, children can keep learning and dreaming despite the country’s challenges. #ForEveryChild 💙

In several communities in the far south and west, families have lost everything: Their homes, their possessions, their fields and their loved ones. During this difficult time, UNICEF remains by these families' side to provide them with the necessary support. CP: Patrice Noel #ForEveryChild 💙
