Hope for Haitians Villages
Since 2001, Hope for Haitians has completed 19 village-building projects, starting with the first in Cotes-de-Fer and continuing in the North and Northeast regions, between Cap-Haitien and Fort-Liberté. These villages were designed to enable self-sufficient lives for residents. Our work is ongoing, providing secure homes, clean water, and sustainable sources of income, food, and opportunity. We focus on sustainable development through local leadership training, education, basic medical care, improved food production, and new economic opportunities. These villages have become more than homes – they are foundations for lives of security and dignity.
