We Work on the Island of Hispaniola.
Konbit Haiti’s Community Center location is in Montrouis, Haiti in a village called Sou-boy. We work in the mountains around the community center, and have water projects throughout the entire island— on the Haiti side and Dominican Republic.
Konbit Haiti exists because we believe God’s best for people is more than handouts and suffering.
We believe that Haitians and people all around the world can make a great impact together.
And, we have seen it first hand as we focus on resilience and
transformation through a restorative + preventative approach.
konbit Haiti was started in response to all the ways aid culture has hurt people.
>Orphanages exist because of poverty, not because parents don’t want their children
>Free rice handouts and imports caused irreparable harm on the agriculture industry.
>People claiming to be doing ‘good’ are often doing more harm than they know.
Konbit Haiti rests on the fact that local people can create lasting change in their communities, cultures, and languages.
and we partner with them by focusing on :
-
Keeping Families Together
Our family preservation programs seek to stand with entire families to support, engage and uplift them so they never have to consider other options for their children.

Business Development
“Opportunity” is one of the biggest desires of our beneficiaries in Haiti. Without the opportunity to make money, create, grow, and learn, people often feel helpless and hopeless. We focus on approaching this sustainably.
-
Clean Water Projects
Our Low-Tech but powerful water solutions for Long-Term Impact as we provide many with access to clean drinking water.
-
Leadership Development
Raising up the next generation and standing with the current generation of indigenous leaders is at the heart and soul of our organization.
