The Haitian Project, Inc. is a Providence, Rhode Island based Roman Catholic non-profit organization dedicated to education in Haiti. Since 1987, it has operated Louverture Cleary School, a Catholic secondary school in Croix des Bouquets, Haiti. [1][2]
History[edit]
In 1987, The Haitian Project established Louverture Cleary School, a Catholic boarding school in Croix des Bouquets, Haiti.[3] Brian Moynihan was a benefactor of the school; his brother Patrick became director of it.[4] Patrick, formerly a commodities trader for Louis Dreyfus Commodities, was president from 1996 until he stepped down on December 31, 2019.[5]
Current activities[edit]
Over 350 secondary students attend the flagship tuition-free boarding school, Louverture Cleary School Santo 5, in Port-au-Prince, with a majority attending universities in Haiti upon graduation.[6]
