Empowering villagers with education to create a sustainable Haiti

Posted: 21 Mar 2013 12:00 AM PDT

In today's data driven world, the need for accurate data and informed analysis is paramount for innovation and progress. Data and statistics that are collected and aggregated have a huge impact on a country's education initiatives which can reform a country's polices and decision-making.

However, accurate data can be hard to find in undeveloped countries where education measures can suffer from limitations in collection and reporting mechanisms, or can even be skewed to meet political needs. This data is vital in determining the allocation of resources to schools that are in dire need for the right teachers and school supplies. This situation is particularly true in Haiti, where data collection systems are weak.

A new data collection system called PhiCollect is working to solve this problem by creating a comprehensive assessment system that can evaluate a student's intellectual growth. Developed by WebFirst, Inc. in partnership with HavServe Volunteer Network, a non-profit organization that aims to empower rural villages in undeveloped countries—together they hope to break the cycle of extreme poverty, hunger, diseases, and child mortality in small villages through education.
