Our mission is to use education and technology as sustainable tools to facilitate positive changes in Haitian communities. www.tek4kids.org
Since 2006, Tek4Kids has been working in Haiti, specifically in the city of Jérémie which is located in the southwestern part of the country. We concentrate on partnerships with schools, because our experience has shown that working with schools has a tremendous impact on Haitian communities. They are the heart of Haitian society and if we can help them, it will not only benefit the students, but their families at home and the whole community.

Tech Student Tuesdays! During December, we're introducing some of our technology students in Jeremie, Haiti. "I am a beneficiary of the Tek4Kids program starting in high school. I had a good experience and thanks to Tek4Kids, I was able to acquire an extra level of skill in office computing and typing. Because I took the program seriously, many doors have opened for me. I am now working for the United Nations Development Program. I am grateful for Tek4Kids because it has greatly contributed to my success." -- Mack Chender Barthelemy, 3rd year student at St. Francis School of Technology
