Why a Computer Center?
In January 2010, 28 of 32 Haitian universities collapsed or were no longer functioning, leaving a gaping hole in an already fragile education system. To understand the critical need for a Student Computer Center location in Haiti, one must first comprehend the immense necessity for infrastructure. To give a student a laptop and send them on their way to pursue their dreams of education may work in an industrialized nation. However, in Haiti this has the same benefit as handing a student a rock. Without reliable energy, consistent broadband connection, available technical assistance, and security, the student has gained little. The HCN Student Computer Center fills this void by providing the necessary infrastructure needed for success. The online education model is achievable!
