Ecole Communautaire Bon Berger

Isolated high in the mountains, the school in the community of Gros Moulin is one of the most challenging to access, taking up to five hours to hike up a steep mountainside that overlooks Lascahobas and the entire Plateau. The community is known for its sugar cane and gets its name, Gros Moulin from the “big grinder” they use to extract the sugar from local Haitian products like Clerin and sugar cane. The school was founded by a community member, and the principal is not only a native son but also a former alum. Gros Moulin students still walk up to three hours to get to school since there are very few other options in the area. A former student called, “Ti Dor,” scored one of the highest grades on the exit exam back in 2011 and because of his high achievement Digicel was inspired to construct the current building.

Access from Mirebalais: Some driving & 4 hrs walking or less
