HANDS TOGETHER FOR HAITIANS INC

Our mission in Palm Beach County (Florida) is to assist the Haitian immigrant population with transition from living in their native country to living in the United States. This goal addresses a multitude of issues including: education, health care, language and cultural barriers, access to social resources, counseling and guidance, and meeting basic daily needs such as food requirements. Our mission in Haiti is to build sustainable programs to support those who suffer from a lack of adequate nutrition, clean water, health care, education, employment & social programs. Our philosophy is to work in solidarity with the people of Haiti. We believe in teaching the Haitian people how to fish rather than giving them fish; we are committed to helping them to help themselves. While developing sustainable projects in Haiti, we emphasize education for all people, knowing that education changes lives. Our projects focus on providing the people with opportunities for work, education, personal advancement, adequate housing, health care, clean water and sufficient food. We are a voice for the poor and insist that everyone is treated with dignity and respect in every circumstance. Our mantra is to do the will of God, with love in our hearts for everyone, everywhere!

HAITI PARTNERS INC

Haiti Partners’ mission is to ‘Help Haitians Change Haiti through Education.’ Our belief is that Haiti’s brutal history of colonization, slavery, and exploitation has traumatized its people and created a culture of authoritarian leadership that all too often results in the abuse of power and a scarcity mindset. The abuse of power stifles the positive evolution of institutions – families, organizations, businesses, government. Leaders that abuse power create and perpetuate conditions that inhibit people from growing, innovating and discovering their potential. Given its history and the typical approach of aid, it’s no wonder that Haiti seems stuck. While there are extraordinary examples of Haitians working together, it is common to find tendencies of people tearing one-another down, a phenomenon that often develops among people with long history of being oppressed. Unfortunately, the educational experience of the majority of Haitian children serves to perpetuate a broken society characterized by ineffective institutions. Haiti’s schools typically use archaic practices such as rote memorization, corporal punishment and humiliation, and teach prejudice, conformity, and passivity while stifling critical thinking and the very “out of the box thinking” that Haiti so desperately needs. In order for Haiti to address its many challenges, its children need to experience an innovative, quality education – an education that empowers them to develop their potential, to think outside the box and to engage in improving their communities. This is Haiti Partners’ mission and this is the work that we engage in each day.
