Konbit Pou Ayiti

Zanmi is a Haitian Kreyòl word used to refer to a friend, supporter, or partner. HaitiKONPAY's community of zanmi, supporters are special. They all live lives that are dedicated to helping create a better world, in ways as individual as they are. Some of our Zanmi have more experience in Haiti than we do. Others have come to Haiti for the first time on delegations with us. Still others make an effort to be helpful to many good causes as well as working to solve the crises of poverty and envionmental degredation in Haiti.

This page is dedicated to celebrating people we know who choose to act to make the world a better place, by bringing people to Haiti, by lending their expertise, by spreading the word about HaitiKONPAY, or by greasing our wheels through a monetary commitment.
