Aprann exists to promote education, job creation, and family preservation through technical enablement in Haiti. We partner with well-vetted nonprofit educational and skills-training organizations to design and implement successful technology education programs that serve their communities and advance a sustainable economy.
Poverty, education, and technology gaps we are tackling
Daily life is shaped by scarcity and uncertainty.
Haiti remains the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with nearly 60% of the population living below the national poverty line. Families navigate food insecurity, inflation, and recurring crises, from natural disasters to political unrest. When parents must choose between buying food and paying school fees, education becomes a casualty of survival. Long-term planning feels impossible when tomorrow is never guaranteed.
Access to quality education remains out of reach for many.
Most schools in Haiti are private, requiring tuition many families cannot afford. Even when children can attend, overcrowded classrooms, undertrained teachers, and lack of materials limit what's possible. Rural communities face the steepest challenges. Schools are scarce, and the ones that exist often lack basic infrastructure like electricity or running water. The result: Haiti has one of the lowest literacy rates in the region.
A digital divide widens the gap.
While technology transforms education globally, most Haitian classrooms have no internet access, computers, or digital learning tools. Teachers lack training in educational technology, and students graduate unprepared for an increasingly digital economy. This isn't just an inconvenience. It's a barrier to opportunity that compounds over generations.
Meeting real needs with practical solutions.
Aprann works alongside Haitian educators and communities to build sustainable educational infrastructure. We provide curriculum resources, teacher training, and technology tools adapted to local realities. Rather than importing solutions, we partner with organizations already doing the work, supporting what's proven effective and filling gaps where they exist. Our goal isn't to rescue, but to resource.
Operation Equip
Operation Equip is one of Aprann’s programs that provides high-quality laptops and lab equipment to nonprofit schools and training centers in Haiti. Through business partnerships, gently-used, business-grade devices are redirected into classrooms where they expand access to education and job skills.
Teacher Training Program
Computer science in the classroom teaches logic, problem solving, and creativity. We equip and train local educators to bring computer science curriculum to their classrooms in a fun and engaging way. Aprann leads local teachers through an online training program. Teachers first participate as students by going through the course, then have opportunities to observe and assist teaching in future classes. Eventually, they will take the material to their own classrooms, educating and inspiring the next generation. Aprann provides ongoing support and training along the way
Your generosity has a greater impact than you may ever know. Aprann is a 501(c) nonprofit organization. All financial support enables us continue our mission of uplifting and empowering our Haitian brothers and sisters through access to critical technology and educational services. We continuously aspire to leverage technology in creative and innovative ways to assist in breaking the cycle of poverty through education, skills training, and job creation.

From Our Partners
Thanks to Aprann's innovative and ethical software, we are able to focus on gaining more monthly student sponsors while simultaneously protecting our students' privacy, allowing us to share our mission in a safe way for all.
In a world where technology is so important, Aprann has been an amazing supporter of our computer lab program at Haiti Awake. They have provided amazing educational resources that have introduced computer science curriculum to our students in a fun and engaging way.
Because of Aprann's investment in our staff and community, we now have two highly skilled Haitian instructors to teach a weekly computer lab to the children in our community program. We appreciate Aprann's investment in the lives of our staff and children.
Aprann's technology education resources and equiptment donations have transformed our nonprofit's approach to digital literacy in education. Our students are embracing technology with enthusiasm, while cultivating technical skillsets that will last a lifetime.
