Haiti Communitere (HC) is a Haitian organization that does whatever is required to support the community and respond to the continually evolving situation in Haiti. We have a large base in Port-au-Prince where we focus primarily on two things: 1. providing accomodation and support to medically fragile children and their parents who come to Port-au-Prince for medical attention 2. supporting small organizations through provision of office space, training space and storage space. However the reality is that the organization's flexible nature means that we can easily pivot, particularly in times of crisis and shift our focus to what is required at that time.
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.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
