    About Us

    Haiti Allies is a non-profit organization under the umbrella of a progressive church called Madison Christian Community. The seeds of Haiti Allies began in 1991 with Bryan Sirchio’s first trip to Haiti. Eventually, Bryan started to lead mission trips with two groups of people from the U.S. each year to support schools and children in Cite Soleil. Members of the Madison Christian Community became involved and formed Haiti Partners MCC, which eventually changed its name to Haiti Allies in 2011.

    Cite Soleil, a shanty town on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince is one of the poorest places in the world. Because of indescribable poverty and a high level of social unrest and violence brought on by prolonged desperation, Cite Soleil receives little in the way of foreign partnership efforts.

    To date, we have helped 250 students, over 30 people works for CSCS/SPARE, 37 students in the SPARE program, 13 enrolled at the university (11) or post secondary technical school (2) level, and over 3 dozen students from Tech school/University have graduated.
