School History

Haiti Empowered first got involved in the community of Fauche through a Pastor named Mark. In the beginning our model was to find people who already had an established work, but no support, and partner with them to help provide finances and structure.  

 In 2006, Haiti Empowered would support another school in Foche, Pastor Mark’s home. In that village there was also a lot of delinquency where the children were abandoned on their own. But a few years later Haiti Empowered would buy his own land and continue working on that land by building a school and starting a church as well. Jean Roody is directing the school and pastoring the church. 

In 2009 Haiti Empowered started high school in Foche for the 7th grade with students who finished the 6th year in the village because we did not have space in our school in Leogane for high school. In in 2011 we transferred the high school Cassange beginning with afternoons in the school built for us after the great earthquake that happened in 2010. In 2023 we began classes in our new High School on land purchased by the Cassange elementary school.
