Construction projects provide employment to haitian workers in the construction trades and for these projects many extollo graduates are employed. These costs include direct and indirect costs of external construction projects. Due to the ongoing security concerns, construction projects that normally provide employment to haitian workers and extollo graduates were limited, with costs incurred primarily for maintaining capacity and resources. Much of 2024 was spent on architectural drawings of the new homes, building molds for tilt-up walls and securing equipment to use in 2025.
