On October 21, 2025, the 26th edition of ‘Tuesdays of the Nation’ took place at the Prime Minister’s Office, spotlighting the Haitian Government’s ongoing social assistance initiatives. The event featured Serge Gabriel Colin, Director General of the Economic and Social Assistance Fund (FAES), who detailed the latest progress of the Social Support Program launched on October 10, 2025. This program underscores the government’s commitment to aiding vulnerable families and promoting children’s education nationwide. The initiative targets three key groups: parents, vulnerable households, and workers. For parents, over 50,000 beneficiaries registered on the Ministry of National Education’s Student Management Information System (SIGE) have received financial aid for the school year, with 153,290 parents already benefiting from grants distributed via MonCash and NatCash. Each recipient is allocated 15,000 Gourdes, plus 380 Gourdes for transaction fees. Additionally, 55,000 vulnerable households identified through the Ministry of Social Affairs’ Information System (SIMAS) will receive a 15,000 Gourde allowance, with payments commencing on October 22nd. Furthermore, 35,000 workers are set to receive 15,000 Gourdes in support, directly deposited into their bank accounts starting October 27th. These measures highlight the government’s dedication to safeguarding the most vulnerable and fostering educational opportunities for the 2025–2026 academic year.
