Terrier Rouge is a large community of over 20,000 people (including the surrounding areas) located in Northeast Haiti on the main trade route between Cap-Haitien, the second-largest city in the country, and the border of the Dominican Republic. There are a variety of ways in which the people in Terrier Rouge earn a living - everything from merchants, mechanics, construction trades, agriculture, etc. but the majority of the people do not have regular employment.
The school of the Baptist Church in Terrier Rouge is divided into three separate entities -
The Center of Protection provides a half-day of education for children ages 3 through 5. The Center has its own building separate from the rest of the school and the Center children all receive a hot meal at the end of their school day.

The Primary School - class levels 1 through 6 - is comparable to an Elementary School in the United States. The School students also receive a hot meal at the end of their school day.
The Secondary School is comparable to middle and high school combined. Many of the students in the secondary school are older than the typical middle or high school age student in the United States, but they still desire to finish their education. Currently the secondary students do not regularly get a meal at school because they are considered "too old" to receive food aid from The World Food Program.
The total average enrollment for all 3 parts of the Baptist School in Terrier Rouge is approximately 1,000 students.
