This website contains large amounts of statistical information covering a range of topics. This site also shows how Haiti ranks relative to other countries.
A couple of statistics I found of interest:
Haiti has only 8 hospital beds per every 10,000 people.
There are only 2.5 physicians for every 10,000 people.
Average Haitian adult has only 2.8 years of education.

Rebuilding Schools in Haiti
"Haiti has had an urgent crisis, and the world responded. We now need to look ahead and help Haiti in its long-term recovery. Helping kids get an education is a great place to start."

More information related to school in Haiti can be found here:
"When asked what needs to be done to rebuild Haiti, virtually every leader we talked to echoed the same three things: Infrastructure (sanitation, water, food, power), jobs and education. Education seems to be the least urgent in a time of crisis, but if Haiti is ever going to rebuild itself, educating the next generation is vital."
