Education
Education forms the core of our mission in Haiti, embodying our resolute commitment to empowering children and fostering self-sustaining communities. We hold unwaveringly to the belief that knowledge is an illuminating force, nurturing resilience and igniting paths to a better life. Beyond academics, our meticulously crafted programs instill the spirit of empowerment, equipping young minds to excel academically and surmount challenges with the tenacity of creators.

Deaf School
Born from a father’s unwavering love, Pastor John K. Summers, a luminary at 90 years, founded the “Paul Project,” a tribute to his son Paul, who was born deaf. This endeavor isn’t just a haven; it’s where deaf children’s voices find wings. In its nurturing embrace, sign language, reading, and writing are the pathways for unheard voices to flourish, bridging silence and communication. The motto “REACHING HIGHER” resonates here, where lives transform and destinies redefine.
Within the Deaf Center’s mosaic lies the tale of a 16-year-old girl from a mountain village, unacquainted with schooling until she found Place of Hope in Haiti. Enveloped by its embrace, she blossomed into a language maestro, her voice overcoming the silence. Pastor Summers’ legacy, the “Paul Project,” transcends words, embodying a father’s devotion and empowerment. A symphony of hearts, this legacy plays for every Paul, celebrating boundless parental love.

In the heart of our haven, Place of Hope in Haiti has given life to a vocational school, celebrating the belief that diverse paths lead to success and fulfillment. Beyond traditional education, we champion practical skills, nurturing self-sufficiency. Amidst our embrace, students emerge with skills that resonate in the local economy. Our halls echo with the symphony of sewing machines, computer keystrokes, carpentry tools, agrarian pursuits, and auto mechanics, each note contributing to the harmonious tune of our students’ achievements.
Our tapestry of education weaves empowerment. In sewing, students master pattern making and machine work, creating fabric visions. In computer technology, determination crafts digital landscapes, code shaping dreams on screens. Woodworking transforms hands into carpentry wizards, while agronomy imparts the balance of planting and reaping. Animals become teachers of caregiving, and auto mechanics unveil the wizardry of small engines.
