Dan Mellish Stands with Haiti

As some of you know, but many of you do not, I recently joined the Board and am so proud to be a supporter of Locally Haiti.  Formerly known as the Colorado Haiti Project, the organization has more than 30 years of history supporting locally led initiatives in rural Haiti.

I love that our work is foundational - it's Haitian led, with a Haitian vision.  The conditions in rural Haiti are extremely rough, but our efforts are making an incredible impact.

Each year, Locally Haiti depends on Evening for Haiti, our major annual event, to fund important work in community health, education, agriculture and conservation, and girls' empowerment. This year, Haiti needs our support more than ever. Due to an increasingly tumultuous political situation in Port-au-Prince and the ongoing impact of Covid-19 on health and food systems across the country, rural communities are suffering. Our current initiatives — focused on food security and the intersection of health and agriculture — are critical to the families of Petit Trou, but we need your help.

I hope you will join me in supporting this incredible organization by making a donation today and joining us for Evening for Haiti. Even if you aren’t able to contribute a financial gift, please consider attending the live-stream event. I’d love for you to learn more about the extraordinary Haitian leaders, health workers, farmers, families, and students supported through our work.  Let's do it!
