:: Mission Statement ::

The Vassar Haiti Project is a non-profit organization committed to education, nutrition, and the arts in Haiti. We support education in a Haitian village, and we seek to educate our own community about the culture, history, and art of the Haitian people.

Our Goals:

• To educate our community in the broad spectrum of Haiti's colorful culture and history, its desperate political and economic state, and of the people's vibrant spirit and steadfast dignity

• To participate in fund raising activities specifically aimed at supporting education in Chermaitre, a village located northwest of the capital city of Port-au-Prince

• To support the artists and artisans of Haiti through the purchase and sale of their art
