Lamothe and his government realised that they needed to identify new sources of revenue through innovative financing mechanisms \u2013 espeically for education. All the available revenue streams in the country were evaluated and a micro-contribution on all money transfers into the country from the millions of Haitians living abroad (diaspora) was quickly implemented. This and a micro contribution on international telephone calls coming into the country enabled the funding of the most comprehensive free educational programme the country had ever seen.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/3&Prime;][vc_column_text]<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-533\" src=\"http:\/\/test.fondationlgl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/10-2-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"601\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/3&Prime;][vc_column_text]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-531\" src=\"http:\/\/test.fondationlgl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/3&Prime;][vc_column_text]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-534\" src=\"http:\/\/test.fondationlgl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Free and Universal Education for All Programme (PSUGO) was born.<\/h2>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 30px;\">As many as 72 schools were built and free, quality education provided for 1.4 million children.

Since the right to education is set out in Haiti\u2019s Constitution, the philosophy was to provide education to all\u2014but especially to the disadvantaged. PSUGO was a means to reduce the burden of paying for schooling for parents whose standard of living had been reduced to extreme poverty as a result of the earthquake. The free meal provided for children at school was also a means of assisting the families and alleviating poverty.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 30px;\">The PSUGO programme was a beacon of hope for the survivors. Most importantly, the Haitian people were being assisted by the government at a time of destruction and dire need and when they lacked the resources to look after themselves.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=\u00a0\u00bbstretch_row_content_no_spaces\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column][vc_column_text] [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] THE HANDS OF THE PRIME MINISTER BOOK A new book, richly illustrated with photographs, highlights Laurent Salvador Lamothe\u2019s journey and challenges as former Prime Minister of Haiti.
