Emmaus University seeks technology support as it prepares for 60th anniversary

Emmaus University in northern Haiti is using Together for Haiti Match Day to raise money for upgraded internet, computer labs and classroom technology. The school says the investment is needed to expand online learning and keep classes running amid Haiti’s instability.

Why it matters: - Emmaus University says stronger technology would help it keep educating students during political instability and security disruptions in Haiti. - The university also says the upgrades would support future online academic programs and widen access to education. - 2027 will mark 60 years since Emmaus was founded, making the technology push part of a larger year of planning and fundraising.

What happened: - Emmaus University, in Acul-du-Nord near Cap-Haïtien in northern Haiti, is participating in Together for Haiti Match Day. - The university says its Match Day goal is to improve information technology infrastructure. - The campaign runs July 20–30, 2026. - Qualifying gifts of $50 to $1,000 per organization receive a 50% match. - More than $50,000 in matching gifts is available. - Donations and matching funds go directly to the donor-selected organization.

The details: - Emmaus University was founded in 1967 by One Mission Society. - The university has 385 students and 70 full-time staff, faculty and adjunct professors. - Emmaus is accredited by CETA, AUF, CCCU and ECFA. - The school offers two undergraduate degrees in theology and business. - Emmaus also offers four master's degrees in theology, education, leadership and biblical studies. - The university says its mission is to equip Christ-like redemptive leaders for Haiti, the Caribbean and beyond. - Emmaus says it focuses on discipleship, church planting, academic rigor and Christian orthodoxy. - The Match Day funds would go toward increased internet capacity, an upgraded computer lab and improved classroom technology. - The university says those improvements are needed to support online learning at scale.

Between the lines: - Haiti's instability is pushing schools to think beyond in-person instruction and build systems that can keep classes going during disruptions. - Emmaus is framing its technology needs as both an academic upgrade and a mission tool for training pastors, teachers, business leaders and community workers. - The 60th anniversary gives the university a fundraising and visibility moment that could help broaden support beyond immediate infrastructure needs.
