KONPAY's Mission and the Haiti Earthquake

Konbit Pou Ayiti/KONPAY (Working Together for Haiti) strengthens Haitian solutions to social, environmental and economic problems by building networks and collaborations to share technology and expertise, and by creating relationships between individuals and organizations in the U.S. and Haiti.

On January 12, 2010, our lives changed forever. The world come to a stop when the earthquake shook the country to its knees. With many other non-governmental organizations working in Haiti, the Haiti Response Coalition was formed to: 

  1.  Distribute water, food, medical aid, and shelter, which is still not getting to people.
  2. Support our Haitian partners by holding their place in meetings with the United Nations, USAID, World Food Program, and others, until the time that they are invited to participate.
  3. Facilitate planning and collaboration on building a new country as articulated by our Haitian partners.
