About Greater Good International

Greater Good Haiti was born from a simple belief: every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream. Rooted in Haitian communities and shaped by local voices, our work is about more than classrooms — it’s about building futures full of dignity, opportunity, and hope. From our first literacy and nutrition programmes in 2011, to our continued support for secondary students, we remain guided by the same mission: empowering Haiti’s future through education. Together, we can create lasting change. Join us in opening doors for the next generation. To resolve such pressing issues as unemployment, poverty, and gender inequality that illiteracy creates in Haiti, GGI founded its literacy program called Lekol Pi Gwo Byen for children between the ages of 9-12 who would otherwise not have any educational opportunities. Since September 2011, GGI has graduated 74 students who have passed the mandatory National Matriculation Sixth Grade Exam—a requirement to enter secondary education. The GGI program is specialized for children who have never attended school. The curriculum aligns with the Haitian National School standards and includes best practices of California State Standards. GGI holds the property title for the land where the school currently resides. We have plans to build proper classrooms to increase our enrollment from the current 36 students to 72 students. As more students graduate from our literacy program, we will need to provide more ongoing support at the secondary level. Once we are able to achieve this, we envision replicating the program in other towns and villages in Haiti.
