St. Cyril

(“Institution Scolaire St. Cyril”)

Approximately 130 students
Kindergarten – 6th grade
Ages: 4 -16

Before St. Cyril opened, children in the area either did not attend school, or went to other area schools; sometimes as far away as on the mainland in Port-au-Prince. In addition to providing funds for the students, faculty, and staff, Dignity for Haiti has (through donations) been able to provide a nutritious meal for everyone … sometimes their only good meal for the day.
