Communities Organizing for Haitian Engagement and Development (COFHED)

COFHED is an innovative Haitian-led community engagement and development organization with a vision of Haïti where rural citizens are valued and are actors of their own change.

Our mission is to partner with marginalized communities in Haiti as they work to discover, create and realize their own vision of socioeconomic development for lasting transformation. 

Our model places radical trust in partner communities to envision their own future.

We envision a Haïti where every person is recognized and valued as a contributing citizen in their community, and where all marginalized community members see themselves as powerful agents of change. Because of this, our unique and highly-effective method of community engagement empowers Haitians to take charge, make change happen and mobilize to transform their communities and their lives.
