April Stands with Haiti

Swimming hole across the street from the school. I have worked with and supported Locally Haiti for more than two years now, and truly feel devoted to this mission. Formerly known as the Colorado Haiti Project, the organization has more than 30 years of history supporting locally led initiatives in a rural town called Petit Trou de Nippes, Haiti. It is a place filled with beauty and with challenges, and with leaders who have all the ideas, drive and commitment needed to build a strong and resilient community for themselves and their families. All that's missing is investment. 

Each year, Locally Haiti depends on Evening for Haiti, our major annual event, to fund programs 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.

Please consider joining me in supporting this incredible organization. Even if you aren’t able to contribute a financial gift, please consider attending the live-stream event on Sunday to learn more about this work I care so much about.
