As our dear colleague Renaud reminded us during his recent visit to Canada, change in Haiti must come from within. And that is just what Jacqueline and her community are doing. They have the skills to take on bigger initiatives, but face unequal access to resources. In the neighbouring village of Grand Fond, for example, literacy graduates are organizing a project to bring clean drinking water to their village! Your support today lends strength to their vision for tomorrow.
"I see that what we are doing with the communities, educating young people, helping women to be independent and empowered, creating the values for people and bringing a prosperity that will help reforestation… So for me, this is the path that will lead to the change that we all hope for Haiti...[F]or a positive change to happen in Haiti, it will have to come from the communities in the first place.” —Renaud Thomas |
