We’re equipping the youth with intellectual and social capital to achieve their aspirations and contribute to the community.
An integral part of FOKAL’s programs, the Monique Calixte Library has been a dynamic learning and entertainment space for thousands of people –from children to adults– in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince (Haiti). It helps FOKAL to achieve its goals of access to information and youth empowerment. The bulk of its collection comprises more than 300 references in literature, magazines, and encyclopaedias. Activities include exhibits, lectures, film screenings, storytime, children’s activities, public readings, theater, plastic arts workshops, games, etc. In addition, through a partnership established with the American Embassy in Haiti in 2009, the library houses an American corner dedicated to promoting American literature and culture. Through its overall library program, FOKAL also provides financial and technical support to 20 community libraries located in small towns across the country. Learn more
