Child education and protection
To provide children with a safe, educational, and nurturing environment to build their future.
Fondation Matana places education and child protection at the heart of its work. Since its inception, the organization has developed initiatives to support the most vulnerable children and provide them with a safe, educational, and stimulating environment.
Through its programs, the Foundation aims to develop balanced, responsible young people who are engaged in their community.

-
Music lessons are mandatory to promote personal and artistic development.
La Maison des Enfants provides a safe, learning, and developmental environment for the children it welcomes.
"One child, one egg a day" program
Nutrition is an essential element of children's development.
Between 2015 and 2016, the Foundation, with the support of Food for the Poor, implemented the "1 child, 1 egg per day" program.
Thanks to egg production in the chicken coops of the Arcahaie farm:
-
Four schools in the region benefited from the program
-
Nearly 2,000 children received an egg per day
This program links agriculture, nutrition, and education to improve students' health and concentration at school.
Civic education and values
Fondation Matana places great importance on civic education.
Children and young people participate in educational activities that promote:
-
Respect for human values
-
Civic responsibility
-
Community engagement
-
The promotion of Haitian culture
These initiatives allow young people to become citizens aware of their role in society.
