Faida Pierre, a 10-year-old girl from Port-au-Prince, represents the plight of over 300,000 children in Haiti who have dropped out of school due to escalating gang violence. When Faida last attended school, her harrowing experience included being stranded on a rooftop while armed men wreaked havoc in her neighborhood. The panic and chaos that ensued led to the closure of her school and left her and many others vulnerable, exposed to hunger and recruitment by violent gangs, stripping them of their education and future prospects.
The ongoing gang violence in Haiti has left over 300,000 children, like Faida Pierre, without access to education, and has created a generation at risk.
Faida Pierre's experience highlights the profound impact of gang violence on children in Haiti, forcing many to abandon their education and flee for safety.
