Hope Haiti Computer Learning Center Objective

Hope Haiti Computer Learning Center (HH-CLC) aims to empower both adults and youths throughout Haiti through computer training. HH-CLC will provide free computer access and practical skill training. This increase in skill in the population will be the start of an information technology economy.

The technological economy benefited by many developed and rich nations is non existent in the Haitian community. In Haiti there are 0.9 computers for every 1000 people. Outside of Port-au-Prince this number drops to 0.2 lines per 100 people. Only the most elite schools provide computers and internet access to their students.  Recent studies concluded that nearly a quarter of Haiti’s population could be moved out of poverty if the government and the international community invest in long term technology education as the source of growth.

Hope Haiti will offer free courses in practical computer skill. trains our graduates who wish to go back into their communities and teach computer skills to their peers, and partners to assist them to start viable computer programs based on the Hope Haiti Computer Learning Centre model. The hope is that the HH-CLC students will not only acquire great computer skills, they will set an example by employing,, teaching and working with others within their communities.

In Haitian society the working member of a family frequently supports the entire extended family. An increase in the standard of living of one person increases the quality of life and self-worth of every member of the family. Access to technology is necessary to break through the class barrier. More people will become self-sufficient, productive members of mainstream society.
