Our Collective .
Created in 2017, the Haitian Women’s Collective brings together Haitian women led organizations based in Haiti. Our collaboration consists of direct service providing organizations who are accountable to specific constituents based in various departments throughout the country.
As a collective, we seek to write our own narrative and build on our expertise related to women’s empowerment, health, education, leadership and community development, economic development, business development, and civic engagement.

Community2Community

Organisation for Dondon Integral Development
In addition to our community and economic development initiatives, we have spent the past few years working to enhance our youth programming. In the past 2 years this has included a focus on sports, girls empowerment and creating a youth program. In the summer of 2021, we had a summer camp for the youth of Dondon and it provided a variety of fun and educational activities. And while assessing the needs of the community, we decided to addressed unplanned adolescent pregnancy and recently opened a clinic which allows young people access to correct information and health care should be needed.
