A year of resilience—and unfinished work

UNICEF’s 2025 results snapshot reports efforts to help displaced children return to schooling, create temporary learning environments and support teachers and families amid continuing violence.

What the reporting tells us

Those efforts show what coordination can achieve. They also reveal why no single organization can solve an education crisis in isolation. Continuity requires funding, access, local relationships and long-term commitment.

For Bisou Bisou Haiti, the honest picture is mixed: our Kafou Fèy space was destroyed, and in-person operations remain limited, yet the mission endures. Our next steps must be safe, practical, and shaped by students and communities.

A stronger year is not a finished year

Small education gains deserve attention, especially under extraordinarily difficult conditions. Yet one repaired school or one temporary classroom does not erase the unmet needs of a displaced generation. Honest progress reporting makes both achievements and gaps visible.

What can help

For families and community groups, the most useful assistance is reliable, specific and locally informed. That may involve contact with a trusted educator, practical study supplies, access to a safe learning space or a way to connect with a suitable service. Any plan should be guided by current conditions rather than promises that cannot be kept.

One response cannot meet every student’s needs. Read this story alongside the other chapters to see how access, safety, instruction and local leadership connect across Haiti’s changing circumstances.
