The full story of GNP — 20 years, two schools, hundreds of lives

22 Years of Transforming Lives in Haiti

What started as a mission to give Haitian children access to education has grown into two fully operational schools, hundreds of students fed and taught each day, and a community forever changed.

How It All Started

Global Network for Progress was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that geography should never determine a child's destiny. In Haiti's most underserved communities, children face barriers to education that most of the world never has to consider — poverty, hunger, and a lack of basic infrastructure.

Over the past 20 years, GNP has worked to remove those barriers one child at a time. What began as a vision has become two functioning schools, a team of dedicated teachers, and a daily meal program that ensures no student has to learn on an empty stomach.

Global Network for Progress is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Brooklyn, New York.

Two Schools Built From the Ground Up

GNP has constructed and continues to operate two schools in Haiti. Both are fully funded through donor support — meaning every child attends completely free of charge.

Boys & Girls School Odelin Francois

Allaire, Verrettes

Grades Served:  Pre-school through 6th grade (6ème année)

Uniforms:  Blue and gray

Serving the rural Allaire community in the Verrettes region. Students here come from families with limited economic resources. For many, this school is their only access to education.

Boys & Girls School of United Pestelois

Department of Grand'Anse, Pestel

Grades Served:  Pre-school through primary

Uniforms:  Yellow

Located in one of Haiti's most geographically remote regions, the Pestel school brings education to a community that has historically had very little access to it.

GNP Achievements Over the Years

Over more than two decades of work, Global Network for Progress has achieved the following:

  1. Constructed two fully operational schools — the Boys & Girls School of United Pestelois in Grand'Anse, and the Boys & Girls School Odelin Francois in Allaire, Verrettes.
  2. Provided free education to countless children enrolled in both schools — giving them access they would not otherwise have had.
  3. Supplied daily meals to hundreds of students, ensuring no child has to learn while hungry.

These are not just numbers — they are lives redirected, futures opened, and communities strengthened.
