Anis Zunuzi School
Outskirts of Port-au-Prince, Haiti

A haven for the most needy in the poorest of countries

School Serves Poorest Children

Zunuzi's School Charter is to serve the poorest of Haiti's children. The school was originally built in a rural area, with no public transportation, no electricity and no telephone. After the school was built, electricity finally reached it. Then, ten years later, a phone was installed. Eventually the slums of Port-au-Prince spread out around the school and violent crime in the area increased. Haiti has experienced seven political revolutions in the last 20 years which so disrupted society that young people refused to work the land and instead looked to relatives oversee for support. This dependency creates apathy and a sense of hopelessness.

In spite of a dire lack of resources, the local staff have proved their commitment to the 230 children of Zunuzi School. Last year, as in the past 20 years, Zunuzi continued to extend its services, enrich its curriculum and provide an oasis of hope for a way out of poverty.

Curriculum Development and Teacher Training

In 2006, the Bridgeway Charitable Foundation funded a significant portion of Zunuzi's operational fund, curriculum development and teacher training. This was the third year in a row this foundation considered and granted much needed funds.

One of our beloved volunteers in Rhode Island worked with The Materials Company of Boston which has provided Montessori materials to replace Zunuzi's worn equipment. This wonderful company has committed to provide us with additional equipment when possible.

Generous contributions by countless numbers of supporters also provided 30 scholarships for Zunuzi's children. In 2007 we hope to increase the number of scholarship recipients, and further support their development plan.

Needs for 2007

• $ 15,000 Build a basic kitchen
• $ 10,000 Educational support & training
• $ 5,000 Scholarship
