Haiti
Partners has been working in Haiti since 1978, when the Haiti and New Jersey Chapters were founded. Since then, we’ve emerged as a leader in agriculture and food security reforms in the country. From 2017-2024, the Ranfose Abitid Nitrisyon pou Fe Ogmante Sante (RANFOSE) program aimed to address micronutrient deficiencies in Haiti by increasing the availability of high-quality fortified foods throughout the country.
Chapters
- Chapitre d'Haïti
Overview
The Haiti Chapter was founded in 1977 by Yves Laborde, with the support of Clinton Crocker and a group of Haitian professionals and executives eager to work in partnership as volunteer citizens of the Caribbean basin to improve the lives of the hemisphere's peoples.
Since its foundation, the Haiti Chapter has carried out several projects in the fields of health, agriculture, education, etc., through partnership and exchange. The Haiti Chapter has also contributed to the development of various areas.
