Take a deep dive into Haiti Partners: Who we are, What we do, and Why we do it.
Periodically we like to reshare this video we made back in 2021. It gets into the history that has led to Haiti’s ongoing challenges, the compelling indigenous cooperative practice of “Konbit,” and why and how it has shaped Haiti Partners’ work as we pursue our mission “to help Haitian change Haiti through education.”
Since it’s a bit long, here are some short cuts:
0:01 – Introducing Haiti
0:50 – Haiti’s brutal history
3:15 – Current challenges
5:39 – Introducing “Konbit”
6:14 – Discovering Haiti Partners
7:00 – Haiti Partners’ approach & impact
8:05 – Haiti Partners, Konbit & the ethic of partnership
Narrated by Haitian-American former HP Board member, Medjy Pierre-Louis, and edited by our long-time collaborator and ace filmmaker, Luke Renner, this video was originally created for our Growing Together Benefit. We hope you enjoy it.
