A two-story critically damaged school requires a replacement with improved ventilation and sanitary restrooms. Serving 1100 students, Baptiste Bon Berger's new school of 20 classrooms would be phased in over several years, replacing the tents now on site and freeing the church to more community involvement. The new school design also includes teacher dormitories looking out over the school courtyard.

renown slum of Cité Soleil in Port-au-Prince. This four-classroom block
is the first of several construction phases. Photo by Antonio JosephUpdates - 2012
