The National School Canteen Program (PNCS) launched an initiative to utilize local agricultural products for school meals, aiming to turn canteens into economic drivers for local farmers. Following an agreement with the French Embassy, the program expects to involve over $700,000 USD in local products for the 2026-2027 academic year across several departments. To refine this model, a PNCS delegation traveled to Burundi to study successful local-purchase and storage practices. Simultaneously, the Fonds National de l’Éducation (FNE) announced the distribution of subsidy checks to support students with disabilities for the 2026-2027 school year. This initiative seeks to reduce financial barriers to education and promote school inclusion for affected families. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-24: Haiti's National Education Fund provides aid for students with disabilities Haiti's National Education Fund (FNE) is distributing financial subsidies to students with disabilities to support their schooling and reduce family expenses for the 2026-2027 academic year. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/haitis-national-education-fund-provides-aid-for-students-with-disabilities ### 2026-10-22: Haiti school feeding program prioritizes local agricultural products Haiti's National School Canteen Program is partnering with local organizations and international donors to source over $700,000 in local agricultural products for the 2026-2027 school year. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/haiti-school-feeding-program-prioritizes-local-agricultural-products --- Cite as: Haiti educational support and nutrition initiatives.
