Unfortunately, the literacy rate in Haiti is  60.7% for the entire population.  This means about 40% of the population is unable to read at a functional level.  Team Teach Haiti desires to help end this generational pattern.  Our training program focuses on the value of education and reading is a vital part of pursuing a successful future.  We are excited to announce the start of our newest program Tan Pou Istwa (story time).  This program will meet 4 afternoons each week following the school day and an additional story time on Saturday.   Children from all around the village of Dessalines are invited to join one of our Tan Pou Istwa groups.
