Catherine Flon School

Catherine Flon school is a preschool through 12th grade with over 4,000 students in Carrefour, Haiti. The school was once a complex of multi-story buildings that served thousands of students each day. Since the January 2010 earthquake, it is mostly tents made of two-by-fours and plastic tarps placed wherever there is space, including on top of the former school’s foundation. The Director of the school, Mr. St. Fort, has taken in students even if they cannot pay the tuition. The Rose Foundation purchased a much needed generator for the school, provided funding for new desks, tuition assistance and school supplies. The Rose Foundation will continue the relief effort to help rebuild the Catherine Flon school.

Ecole Mixte de Sibert (Haiti Education and Resource Team)

The Rose Foundation has partnered with HEART which operates a school located in Sibert, a commune of Mergers in the Croix de Bouquets area of Haiti. The HEART school is run by Shadrach St. Louis “Shad” who grew up in Sibert and moved to the US when he was 11 years old. Shad opened the school in 2010 following the earthquake. He and his team converted shipping containers into classrooms for grades Pre-school through fourth grade. The Rose Foundation has helped HEART by providing funding to repair the roof which was leaking and ruining the walls and floors of the converted classrooms. The Rose Foundation will continue to partner with HEART school and most recently donated computer tablets made by a Haitian company called Surtab. These tablets will be used by the teachers and students to help with teaching and learning through an online library.


With our help, the HEART school was able to construct a community building which opened it's doors in March 2016. This new building is now available to the entire community for events and functions in addition to the school's use of the building.
