Haiti - Education : 264,000 dollars for the Haitian Hotel School
The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund today announced a $264,000 grant to the Oasis Foundation to revive l'École Hôtelière Haitienne (Haitian Hotel School). Destroyed by the earthquake, the school, an institution under Haiti's Ministry of Tourism, was the only comprehensive hospitality training school of its kind in the country.
With this funding, the school can now welcome hospitality students back to complete their training, and matriculate future students passionate about careers in the hospitality industry. Some of the graduates will go on to careers at the Oasis Hotel, and others, with the help of the school, will seek hospitality industry jobs at other businesses throughout Haiti.
Earlier this year, the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund made a $2M equity investment in the Oasis Hotel, a business-class hotel in Port-au-Prince whose construction was halted after the earthquake.
