United Christians International (UCI) believes that a solid, Christian education is key to addressing both spiritual and physical poverty within communities. UCI now operates 2 elementary schools and a high school, providing education to over 1300 children, as well as a Christian university and tech school for over 900 students!

Elementary School

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6​

UCI is committed to providing a biblically-based education and utilizes certified teachers. There is a scholarship program that allows students the opportunity to go to school. At UCI, the parents are encouraged to work once a month at the school to help pay back and invest in their child’s education. Justin Mompremier ensures that the teachers adhere to the national standards of education as well as UCI's standards for spiritual formation.

Just $15 USD per month provides a child with a quality Christian education and a meal each day.

UCI University

“A Biblically-transformed life that will transform the lives of the Haitian people and the world”

UCI opened the university in 2012 with 80 students and has now grown to over 900 students. The university has a science lab, computer lab, dissection lab, clinic, and Internet in the classrooms, all for use in building up well-rounded, well-trained students. On all levels of schooling, a scholarship program allows students the opportunity to go to school. All university scholarship recipients have work-study, behavioral, and academic requirements. Lamour Mompremier is the board member that oversees the dorm life at the university, helps with disciplinary issues, and verifies that accreditation requirements will be met. The following programs are currently offered at the accredited university:​

  • Theology (4 years)
  • Agriculture Science (5 years)
  • Nursing (4 years)
  • Medical Doctor (6 years)
  • Elementary Education (3 years)

Graduates bring hope for the future

It is such a joy to have graduates come back to visit!

Lyguins entered university in 2014 and graduated in 2019. He had an opportunity to travel to Turkey, but found it difficult to find work and a use for his talents, so he returned to Haiti and opened a vocational school to train up agricultural technicians! He did this in his home town of Cerca-la-Source, close to theborder with the Dominican Republic. Agriculture is not easy, but so needed. Starting a school is not easy, but is key to development.

Lyguins took his students on a field trip to show them where he got his education and the different agricultural projects at UCI. He hopes that some of his students will continue their education at UCCC’s 5-year agronomy program.

It was a blessing for UCI to meet some of his students and hear of their desire to produce food using sustainable methods to benefit the country. This is why UCI persists in education—these students are a fulfillment of their vision. As UCI looks around Haiti at all the violence and strife, there is discouragement, but when they see each of these students, there is hope.
