Latest update

Investing in education

Recently, Westbow Foundation provided funds to complete the finishing of construction at the Haiti Free School in Mirebalais.  The school has been operational already for a number of years providing a quality Christian education to over 550 students.

The first phase of construction, which is now complete, was the parging of the exterior walls to provide a smooth, clean finish.  The school can now be painted and the remaining doors/windows installed.

Due to the ongoing political unrest in the country, the construction came to a halt for some time, but thankfully the work was able to resume in November.
