Nimewo an Kreyòl was developed by A Connected Planet Foundation for use in Haiti in our Tablet Implementation Program. Virtually no applications exist in Haitian Creole. So we started developing our own applications.
The app is very simple. It contains a lesson and a test mode, and will show you the numbers between 1 and 100 as well as give you the written word and pronunciation in Haitian Creole. In the test mode, you will have to drag and drop the correct answer to the numeric question presented. At the end of the test, the app will provide you with your score.
ACP’s focus is on education apps for young Haitian children. Look for ACP’s other applications about the alphabet, numbers, fruits & vegetables and animals. The graphics depict culturally relevant items for the rural areas that we work in. ACP has also partnered with the Matenwa Community Learning Center to turn their Haitian Creole Mother Tongue Books into applications.
ACP’s staff and volunteers include professionals from the Academic, Education, Computer Science, Business, Industrial-Organizational Psychology and Speech Language Pathology sectors.
