Digital Learning in Haiti
Overview
Access to technology should not determine a child’s future.
Silem Foundation helps bridge the digital divide by supporting school-based digital learning and foundational technology skills that strengthen education, support continued learning, and prepare students for future opportunities.
Our approach focuses on shared access, responsible use, and integration into learning, ensuring technology enhances education rather than replacing it.
What We Do
Install and equip school-based computer labs that provide shared, supervised access for students and teachers
Support foundational digital literacy skills for students and educators, aligned with classroom learning
Promote safe and responsible technology use, including digital citizenship and online awareness
Introduce students to future learning pathways through age-appropriate exposure to digital tools and educational technology
Why It Matters
Digital exclusion deepens educational inequality.
Without access to basic digital tools and skills, students and teachers face barriers to continued learning and participation in modern education systems. School-based computer labs provide structured, equitable access to technology while strengthening teaching quality and learning continuity.
