Improving educational systems by connecting communities. CEI brings together multiple community stakeholders to collaboratively co-create Haiti’s first inclusive school, engaging parents, students, educators, administrators, architects, engineers, and government officials on both local and national levels.

By catering the curriculum, staffing, and built- environment to accommodate for children’s different needs and abilities, we challenge the zero-sum game thinking about education and demonstrate the ample benefits of inclusive education for all children – both with and without disabilities. The idea for CEI was born by the Les Cayes community in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. While the Haiti

an government estimated in 2012 that 1 in every 10 Haitian people was living with a disability, much of the infrastructure was not rebuilt to accommodate this population. The local community wanted to actively address the resulting exclusion of people with disabilities by creating the first-ever fully inclusive primary school to serve as a model for the national educational system. In 2013, Alexon Grochowski, Cornell University undergraduate at the time, took her first trip to Haiti where she was inspired by this vision. She involved a broader circle of people to better understand the ecosystem and take a multifaceted approach to the issue. Looking to offer meaningful support, Alexon built a relationship between the Haitian partners and Cornell University, involving over eighty undergraduate and graduate students from across five different colleges to focus on inclusive education, community-driven design, and sustainable development. The student team has taken six self-organized trips to Haiti, raised over $40,000, and recruited faculty advisors to contribute their expertise and supervise student’s work. Additionally, a US-based partner organization, Friends of CEI, has been established to accept tax-exempt donations under the fiscal sponsorship of the Center for Transformative Action. This community-university collaboration emphasizes co-learning, co-teaching, and co-research. By leveraging Cornell’s resources to help realize CEI’s vision to create a replicable model for inclusive education in Haiti, we are both improving the Haitian educational system and that at Cornell.

The journey to creating Haiti's first fully inclusive school has been long and challenging at times, but yesterday's celebration of the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities that took place in Les Cayes was a reminder that this journey is well worth it not only for students with disabilities but for all children. Along with Bureau du Secrétaire d'État à l'Intégration des Personnes Handicapées and Raniph - Secretariat National, CEI hosted an event where children danced, sang, and played together in an inclusive setting to celebrate #December3. Here is a small preview into the environment CEI hopes to create where (every) student has the opportunity to flourish.

Thanks for your ongoing support!

Disability shouldn't define your life! We need to work together to create more of these success stories.

“After I was born, I was the subject of a 45-minute dissertation at Columbia University. Almost all of my organs were born externally, and had to be sewn into my body. I don’t have a belly button-- only a scar where my feeding tube used to be. My mother even tells me that she wasn’t sure if I’d ever be able to stand, eat, or drink. But now I can rollerblade. I can do a handstand on my crutches. I’ve got a core group of friends, a girlfriend, a college degree, and I’m helping to manage a radio station at the age of 23.”

The CEI student team wanted to thank everyone who donated to Alessandro's hike across Patagonia. We ended up surpassing our goal and raised over $5,000 - we're one step closer to building the first inclusive primary school in Haiti!
