Computer Labs for Haitian Schools
This is one of Dofitek's flagship technology initiatives — and the project we are most actively building partnerships around today. We design, deploy, and maintain modern computer labs in Haitian schools, bringing digital tools, internet access, and structured training to thousands of students who would otherwise be left out of the digital economy.
Four pillars driving the project
Educational Impact
Students gain real, hands-on access to computers, the internet, and the digital tools used in the modern economy — often for the first time in their lives.
Digital Inclusion
Schools that have historically had no functional lab are brought into the digital world, directly narrowing one of Haiti's deepest technology gaps.
School Modernization
Beyond hardware, schools receive software, networking, teacher training, and digital workflows that change daily operations.
Long-Term Support
Dofitek provides maintenance, upgrades, and on-site technical assistance so the labs remain operational year after year — not abandoned after deployment.
A huge, under-served education-tech market

Why this market is a serious opportunity
An Enormous Under-Served Market
Haiti has an estimated 15,000+ primary and secondary schools serving more than 3 million children, the overwhelming majority of which operate without a functional computer lab, structured digital curriculum, or reliable internet. The addressable demand for school technology — equipment, software, training, and maintenance — is structural, not seasonal.
A Real Digital Divide to Close
Only about 47.9% of the Haitian population uses the internet (World Bank, 2024), versus roughly 80% across Latin America and the Caribbean. School labs are one of the most effective single interventions to close that gap at scale, because they reach children, families, and communities simultaneously.
Demand Backed by Donors & Institutions
Education technology in Haiti is actively supported by the World Bank (US$60M Haiti Digital Acceleration Project), USAID, the IDB, UN agencies, and major NGOs. Partners working with Dofitek plug directly into a market with serious institutional demand and existing funding flows.
A Replicable, Caribbean-Scale Model
The school lab model we are building in Haiti is intentionally designed to be replicated in other Caribbean markets — Dominican Republic, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and beyond. Early partners gain regional positioning, not just a single-country footprint.
A structured, end-to-end deployment model
Site assessment
We assess each school's space, electrical capacity, security, and existing connectivity, then design a lab configuration that fits the reality on the ground.
Procurement & installation
We source equipment, install hardware, set up networking and power protection, and configure the software stack — including offline-capable educational content where bandwidth is limited.
Training & curriculum
Teachers receive structured training; students receive a baseline digital curriculum. Schools get documented operating procedures so the lab actually gets used.
Maintenance contract
Every deployment includes a maintenance plan with on-site visits, remote support, and parts replacement — so labs stay operational past year one.
Monitoring & reporting
Partners receive transparent reporting: deployment milestones, usage data, school feedback, and impact indicators they can share with their own stakeholders.
Scale-up
Successful deployments feed directly into the next cohort of schools — turning a single pilot into a repeatable, multi-school program.
Four partner profiles for this flagship project
Equipment & Supply Partners
Manufacturers, distributors, and refurbishers of computers, laptops, networking gear, projectors, furniture, and accessories who want a structured channel into Haitian and Caribbean schools.
Project Co-Financing Partners
Foundations, NGOs, diaspora groups, faith-based organizations, and private donors who want to co-finance specific school deployments with measurable, auditable outcomes.
Strategic & Institutional Partners
Donors, multilaterals, universities, and EdTech companies looking for a reliable Haitian operator to execute, monitor, and sustain school technology programs on the ground.
Training & Curriculum Partners
EdTech platforms, training organizations, and certification bodies who want to bring digital learning content and teacher training into Haitian classrooms through an established local network.
Part of a broader technology portfolio
The school lab project is our flagship — but it sits inside a broader portfolio of technology work at Dofitek, including business technology solutions, custom software, infrastructure deployments, training programs, and emerging-technology projects across Haiti and, soon, the wider Caribbean.
