The Duchity Vocational Training Center
A dream now a reality

This school - located in the mountain village of Duchity, 125 miles southwest of Port au Prince - was created by Despagne Felix as a way of giving citizens in his home region educational and vocational opportunities without having to travel to Port au Prince.  

​Despagne explains his reasons for creating the school

​Despagne's dream of opening a vocational school in Duchity has become a reality. On October 13, 2014 the school opened its doors to provide adult education classes in: ​

English
Computer Sciences

Agriculture
​Construction

Tile
​Welding

The Vocational Training Center currently has over 200 students, with seven teachers on staff providing life-changing educational opportunities.
