Haiti has increasingly found itself faced with an easy dead end. The crisis, already known worldwide, has plunged the country into not only experiencing the consequences of violence, but also the lack of basic resources such as food, water, health and education.

Education, a fundamental pillar for future development, has suffered enormously in this context of instability. Schools and universities have failed to hold classes regularly, portending a bleak future for the next generation. Institutions like Fe y Alegría have seen how some of their educational centers have had to close or adapt to living in situations of insecurity. In Ouanaminthe, for example, the Saint Ignatius School, managed by the Sisters of the Company of Mary and with 1,000 students, has only been able to reopen its doors with limitations in these days of March, after having suspended classes at the beginning of the year.

In the midst of the tragedy, the Jesuit mission in Haiti continues its efforts to offer support and accompany some communities. In the south of the country, with the Parish of Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus in Carrefour Charles, or in the north, in the city of Ouanaminthe, with the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, support for expatriates through the SJM and the formation of teachers with the Especil are some examples.

Lately, the San Ignacio de Croix de Bouquets School had to close after a long time that its current director, with determination and courage, supported it because it was a hope in the midst of a total tragedy that the school environment was experiencing. The figure of Father Achange, the director, is a paradigm of the struggle of the Jesuits who, together with the people of Haiti, seek to build a better future for the promised land.
