Building Leaders Using Music Education in Haiti (BLUME Haiti)

In Haiti - a country with a rich legacy of arts and culture - potential is everywhere, but the barriers to success are steep. BLUME Haiti embraces this challenge, empowering thousands of Haitian students, educators, performers, and creators to unify and strengthen their communities through the transformative impact of music education.

Founded in 2012, we use music as a tool for social change. We work in partnership with over 60 music schools across Haiti to uplift thousands of Haitian youth through the creative power of music. Centering Haitian voices and the needs of local communities, we have helped to build a thriving environment for music education that perseveres during even the most difficult times.

Founded in 2012 - but anchored in the values of a dedicated group of volunteers whose lineage dates to 1971 - Building Leaders Using Music Education in Haiti fosters relationships among musicians in Haiti and globally, places people at the center of its mission, engages with musical and educational networks within the country and across the diaspora, and nurtures a thriving, interconnected community poised for long-term growth and success.
