VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
Skills create income, and income builds futures.
Official figures show Haiti’s unemployment rate at nearly 15%. Jobs are limited. One solution is to become an independent contractor. A high school or even university diploma alone is not enough to secure stable income. That’s why The PEACE Project Haiti launched its vocational school — to equip community members with practical, income‑generating trades.
Students in vocational classes pay a modest fee for classes, less than the going rate at similar schools. PEACE Project provides a guaranteed wage for the part time teachers, a facility for classes and covers administrative costs. This is part of "promoting education" and "community empowerment".

Solar installations require significant electrical work. The trades we teach are practical and sought after.
