PARTNER

Fondation St. Luc – Haiti

ABF ACTIONS

  • To date, after the construction of the facilities, the maintenance costs are borne by ABF.

THE PROJECT

Through the EDU project, the Andrea Bocelli foundation has achieved the construction of 3 Guest Houses to host staff, volunteers and supporters of the ABF and Fondation St. Luc team during missions and stays on location. The facility in St Raphael houses on a stable basis also some school teachers in order to support their attendance in view of its geographical position, thus decreasing turnover due to logistics difficulties.

THE CONTEXT

The schools of St. Raphael, Manitane e St. Augustin are located in communities that are several hours of travel from the capital of PAP. This is the reason why the implementation of spaces that can regularly house not only teams and volunteers, but also local staff, such as the staff of the Mobile Clinic project, is important.

Before the construction of these facilities, dormitory rooms were arranged in the schools’ classrooms.
