About Us
We believe in Haitian leadership and Haitian vision, investing in locally led programs and community-based work. Locally Haiti’s integrated initiatives are designed to support economic development and the overall health and well-being of families in the Nippes region of rural Haiti. Locally Haiti supports efforts in education, agriculture and conservation, community health, and girls' empowerment.
Why rural Haiti?
Rural Haiti suffers from a severe lack of health care, education, investment, and opportunity. We believe that a prosperous future for Haiti lies in the great possibility and potential of these rural regions — fertile lands with talented and creative leaders that are in desperate need of resources.
Petit Trou de Nippes, our partner community of more than 35 years, is a coastal city located at the base of a breathtaking mountain range. Visit Petit Trou and you’ll find a group of talented leaders deeply devoted to making progress in their community of 36,000.
We believe in a Haiti that can thrive, one rural community at a time; a multi-polar economy where food is produced locally, healthcare and opportunity are accessible, and where families have the tools they need to lead healthy lives.
