Institut Chretien de Formation Technique

The vision for C-Tech was born from the devastation of the earthquake in 2010. The destruction of many post-secondary schools in Port-au-Prince, and the death of many people in them, brought into focus the need for such institutions outside of the city. Additionally, placement in the countryside permits young adults without access to urban areas to pursue educational opportunities not available before. FEH put together a plan to develop a trade and technical school for the under served area of Mussotte. Cross International and a generous private donor enabled the site to be prepared and the building to begin. Construction of the first facilities of C-Tech was completed in August 2016, and the first class of 25 students started their studies in September 2016.
The school is starting with classes in life skills, small business, and computer technology. Expansion into trade studies such as carpentry, mechanics, medical technologies, hospitality, and more are coming in the near future. Long-term goals for C-Tech include being able to award university level degrees in engineering and sciences.
