Transforming Haiti into a self-sustaining community…one village at a time.
We serve nine villages in Haiti by providing meals, education, and medical care.
Our Story
At Haiti Empowered, our unwavering commitment lies in the fulfillment of our mission through these four pathways: Engage, Educate, Equip, and Empower. Together, we strive towards a future where Haitian communities flourish and stand tall as self-sufficient beacons of hope to other Haitians and villages around them.
-
This first pathway starts with engaging the people of Haiti. By addressing their basic needs, such as providing food, medical care, and resources for hygiene, we establish meaningful connections. Those connections include local leaders and families, earning their trust and respect. Our engagement is an ongoing process, as our local team continuously builds upon the relationships formed through our various programs. Visit our What We Do page to read more about our programs.

Education forms the cornerstone of our four pathways. In Haiti, where many children do not complete middle school or go to school at all. To foster thriving communities, Haitians need access to knowledge. By encouraging high school graduation, college enrollment, or training in skilled trades, we empower students to become catalysts for change. Armed with knowledge, they can bring about generational transformations that turn struggling villages into secure and prosperous community. We also provide supplemental education on critical topics, including health, life skills, and the importance of emotional as well as spiritual well-being. Visit our Where We Work page to read more about our schools.

While education is invaluable, knowledge alone is insufficient. Everyone requires resources and training on how to effectively use their knowledge. Our students learn how to use skills and establish healthy patterns. With that experience and knowledge, they are able fill desirable positions within their communities. Each success story provides an example for their peers and the next generation.
-
Our final "E" emphasizes empowering Haitians to become leaders in their own villages. We believe in the transformational power that changes hearts, minds and souls.
We employ hundreds of local people, providing internships and growth opportunities. With stable employment and a healthier life changes, they can raise families that change their communities. We utilize partners and mentors to help them embrace the role of change agents. We instill in them the courage and confidence to be the pioneers of transformation, changing Haiti from the inside out.
