The Connection Network

Haiti: Educating for the Work Force, Connecting to the World

Vision Statement:

Their goal is to educate Haitians who live in poverty with no chance of a college education, through sending them to a national trade school to learn a trade (i.e. accounting, computer programming, business), then assist them with job placement in their own country, thus assisting them out of poverty.

History

Since 1999 The Connection Network, formerly Haiti for the Kids, has been educating Haitian young people from elementary school through college. After seeing a desperate need for higher education in areas such as computers and accounting, they began a process of selecting canidates for the program and walking them through each step of the education process. Upon graduation with a trade school diploma, the Connection Network assists the graduates with placement including resume writing, interview skills and business communication.
