Pahara Institute

Anseye Pou Ayiti (APA) is revolutionizing education in Haiti by shaping a new generation of leaders. Nedgine Paul Deroly, CEO and Co-Founder, and Jean-Claude Brizard, Founding Board Chair, are both proud Haitians and #McNultyPrize Winners. They witnessed how the Haitian education system, deeply influenced by the French colonial legacy, ignored local language and Haiti’s proud history and culture; creating a divide between classroom and community and stifling homegrown leadership. Through fellowships and leadership development for teachers, parents, and principals, APA's innovative approach is decolonizing the education system and recentering Haitian identity, impacting not just students, but the whole community. This holistic shift is driving both community and national transformation while seeding a new generation of civic leaders. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eaYtfB7T

Meet 2024 #McNultyCatalystFund recipient: Jonathan Klein, a Pahara Institute Fellow and Founder of UndauntedK12, where the fight against climate change meets our education system. As a 5th-grade teacher, Jonathan has seen firsthand the challenges facing public school systems in the US, especially for low-income communities. Inspired after attending a youth climate strike with his daughter, UndauntedK12 was founded to bridge the gap between schools and climate resilience funding.
