Partner to transform the world.
We believe in the impact of giving with intention and love. Our donor base spans across 5 countries who want to see Haitian leaders build their communities into beautiful spaces.
When you partner with us, together we help communities transform themselves to THRIVE by helping them prevent and recover from disaster.
Giving to the future.
Several of our programs are geared toward sustainability for the future. What we mean by sustainability also involves mindset and local leadership. Our local research has proven that one of the most effective and important ways to lead to lasting change is to invest and support local leaders. This is a huge part of our strategy for sustainability in our programming. Through pandemics and upheavals, it has proven to be effective. When you make a one-time donation,
We would love to share our heart and work with your church, small group, school, family and more! Please reach out to get involved.

Trips to Haiti
When there is no risk to our ground partners, we take small, skilled trips to Haiti. Often, this is to impart knowledge and stand with local professionals. Our trips are based on service of others before self, and require reading and training prior to the visit. Currently, we are not taking teams. Consider donating what you would spend to go!
Learn about Haiti, volunteerism, and our approach.
We believe in the importance of learning and encourage curiosity about the work we do, the communities we serve, and our approach. Often, people approach Konbit Haiti or Haiti as a whole with many assumptions, which is natural. However, we want to invite you learn more. We are all on a journey, and we know that when we approach such topics as missions, community transformation, and culture with curiosity, we will gain more than we already have!
