Pageste Christian Schools
Pageste (pronounced Pä-jest) is a small village just half a mile north of the Artibonite River, near Mirebalais. To reach it, people either swim across the river or cross in a handmade wooden boat. The school not only provides education but also serves as a source of nourishment and hope. A well on the school grounds ensures clean water for the children, and each day, students receive a hot, nutritious meal. Children attend elementary school in the village, then continue their studies at a secondary school in Mirebalais.
