Core offering

Tek4Kids provides integrated education and infrastructure programs to partner schools in Jeremie, Haiti, including water purification systems, reliable electricity installations, computer classes, traveling iPad learning stations, and a three-year certified IT education program (St. Francis School of Technology). All programs are delivered free of charge to students and schools, funded by donations to the 501(c)(3) nonprofit with 100% of contributions directed to Haiti projects.

Product overview

Tek4Kids operates as an integrated educational technology nonprofit offering five interconnected programs: Basic School Infrastructure (electricity and security systems), Water Purification Systems, Computer Classes, Traveling iPads, and the St. Francis School of Technology. The organization functions as a unified nonprofit entity rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The infrastructure services (electricity and water) serve as foundational enablers for the technology education programs, while the computer classes and iPad programs provide interactive learning tools across partner schools. The St. Francis School of Technology represents the advanced tier, offering certification-track IT education for students pursuing technology careers. These programs are designed to work together to address the cycle of poverty through education and technology access in Haiti.
