Summary
Haiti’s new school year unfolds under a shadow of gang violence, with over 1600 schools disrupted and more than 240,000 children and 7,500 teachers affected. Kids risk gunfire or forced recruitment just to get to class, while schools in Port-au-Prince—where gangs control up to 90% of the city—are shuttered, destroyed, or repurposed as shelters. One child pleaded with UNICEF: “Can you stop what the gangs are doing to us?” Yet amid the terror, families cling to education as a lifeline—a place to reconnect, heal, and dream. UNICEF supports 174,000 children with supplies, safe spaces, and counseling, as resilience shines through in every child’s determination to learn and hope for a safer tomorrow.
