Haiti Communitere was launched in 2010 in response to a massive earthquake that rocked Port-au-Prince and was focused on emergency response. Things have changed a lot since then. HC remains a flexible organization that works hard to respond to community needs, even as these needs are ever changing. The situation in Haiti and particularly Port-au-Prince is extremely complex HC does two things: 1. We provide safe accommodation for medically fragile children who need to come to Port-au-Prince for medical attention and their parents and we also accommodate other patients from Port-au-Prince hospitals. 2. We are a community resource center that hosts small organizations. We provide office space, storage space and space for training/workshops for these organizations. However we are able to shift our focus in response to changing realities in a very unstable country.
We are a tiny but valuable organization that punches above our weight in terms of contribution to the community.
