CHP in Haiti
me meLearn about us

The Colorado Haiti Project (CHP) is a state-wide non-profit organization founded in 1989 to provide Colorado citizens and youth the opportunity to extend aid to the poorest of the poor in rural Haiti. Beginning in 1989 in a rural outpost 80 miles west of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, the Colorado Haiti Project today oversees a wide variety of outreach efforts in the capital and across the lower peninsula of Haiti, and a medical mission in Gonâives on the upper peninsula.

Our flagship effort is the Episcopal mission of St. Paul's in the village of Petit trou de Nippes, 80 miles west of Portau-Prince on the southern peninsula of Haiti. At Petit Trou de Nippes, our comprehensive approach to community development is unique in Haiti. The essential ingredients of our model are traditional education, vocational training, economic development, a medical, dental and community health care system, nutrition, potable water and sanitation system, all within the spiritual support system provided by the Episcopal Mission of St. Paul's.

We coordinate with community leaders at every stage of the project, toward an ultimate goal of a permanent community infrastructure, which is maintainable by the local community and replicable in other communities of Haiti. Our method is "a hand up, not a hand out," and our efforts at Petit trou reflect the goals of the community for itself.

Since 1996, CHP's Konbit Program has sponsored individual students at St. Paul’s School. The sponsorship, which is often given with $25/month payments, ensures that your child receives a hot lunch every school day, and, in times of drought or extra hardship, a student may take part of her lunch home to her family. Your Konbit Sponsorship also purchases school books and supplies, uniforms, tuition, and an annual physical for your student. Sponsors receive a photo and information about one of the students at St. Paul’s School. Help us meet our goal of one sponsorship for every child at St. Paul’s School.
