HOPE FOR HAITI, INC.
NAPLES, FLORIDA

Haiti today is an island with hope for the future. Hope for Haiti’s target impact area is the rural South, in and around the city of Les Cayes. Southern Haiti features beautiful beaches and waterfalls and is home to local cultural events including the national Carnival celebrations in 2012. The area produces bountiful natural fruits, including avocados, mangos, and sweet plantains. Hope for Haiti’s holistic model of sustainable community development aims to address nationwide problems, including poverty, malnutrition, access to education, healthcare, clean water, erosion and desertification, and inadequate infrastructure to meet the needs of the people.For over 25 years, Hope for Haiti has partnered with existing community leaders to overcome these varied challenges. Approximately 90% of Haiti’s schools are private schools. By focusing on the school as the center of a community’s healthcare, water, economic, and infrastructure needs, Hope for Haiti connects, heals, and empowers partners towards economic sustainability.
