Since 2012, Tek4Kids has collaborated closely with its partner schools in Haiti to create a computer education curriculum to complement their programs of study. Tek4Kids teachers travel between the five schools to serve as many students as possible and teach topics such as typing and Microsoft programs Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher.

By offering high quality training and improving the quality of education, Tek4Kids hopes to equip students with the necessary skills to secure professional positions within the local community and to succeed in a global economy. Supporting Haitians through education will help strengthen the local labor force and create economic benefits for the community. Tek4Kids seeks to create a structure of opportunity for Haiti's next generation through technology!

We can see that the world today is moving with technology. Tek4Kids computer classes help us feel more connected with the rest of the world and will help us find jobs in the future.

Our Goals:

  • Provide students with the skills to secure technology jobs in Haiti.
  • Improve the Haitian economy by enabling students to secure employment with companies and NGOs in Haiti, thereby allowing their earnings to continue circulating in the country.
  • Offer internet access to students, teachers, and adults, thus increasing opportunities for learning and acquiring skills needed for employment.
