The Digicel Foundation and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have launched a project which trains at-risk and out-of-school youths in Haiti to convert shipping containers into primary schools. The Digicel Foundation and USAID have already opened the first school built under the public-private partnership. Ecole Louis de Borno in Leogane will welcome 600 primary students when the new school year begins on 4 October. The Digicel Foundation plans to open 50 such schools, which will provide permanent and transitional courses for up to 30,000 children.
