Welcome to Haiti On The Rise, and Thank You for Visiting Us Today!

Haiti On The Rise is a nonprofit organization committed to supporting the people of Haiti in building vibrant communities. Through ongoing physical, social, and sustainable infrastructure projects, we assist the Haitian people in improving their quality of life.

Recovery from the devastating 2010 Earthquake has been painfully slow and further complicated by Hurricane Matthew in October 2016. On August 14th, 2021, Haiti was hit again by another disastrous earthquake. More recently, local Haitian families have encountered extreme difficulties in living their daily lives as socio-political and economic problems abound. Therefore quick, innovative thinking and tremendous support is required to create a synergistic effect that will help the Haitian people recover from these on-going catastrophes over time. With the motto “men anpil, chay pa lou,” a Haitian proverb that means “many hands lighten the load,” Haiti On The Rise is committed to saving lives and transforming communities. We partner with those who have been working for centuries in Haiti to improve the living conditions of the unfortunate. By doing so, Haiti On The Rise enhances the impact of those who are already making a difference. Please help us make our vision of Haiti become a reality.

Thank you to all who participated in our 9th Annual Gala and to those who helped us during 2023-24. Because of your support, La Grotte High School’s foundation & 1st Floor have been completed; the 1st Floor is already being used for educational purposes; and construction is progressing to the 2nd Floor and roof. Also, our scholarship program for young students from primary school to collegiate education continues to grow, and all of our scholars are safely going to school in some manner this academic year. As in 2022, our network of volunteers in Haiti distributed much-needed food to a number of families during the 2023 Holidays. All of these humanitarian actions are due to your support and love.

Please continue to support Haiti On The Rise as we move towards our 10th year of humanitarian work in Haiti together! You may provide your support to Haiti On The Rise at any time via PayPal, Debit Card, or Credit Card on the Donate Page. Haiti On The Rise and the people of Haiti whom we serve thank you fully for all of your support! All that we accomplish is because of you – our loving, giving supporters! Thank you so much. We hope to see you soon, and particularly at our 10th Annual Gala on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025!

Areas of Focus

Education

Haiti has a very limited public education system, thus most students’ only option is to attend private school. Although tuition is inexpensive by western standards, many families cannot afford it, and their children stay home or only attend school irregularly. This has led to a 39% illiteracy rate and few economic opportunities. Haiti On The Rise is committed to making a difference by contributing towards rebuilding the education infrastructure and helping children and adults attend school.

Construction

Although some time has passed since the 2010 Earthquake, 2016’s Hurricane Matthew, and the 2021 Earthquake, many victims are still living their lives in temporary structures. Haiti On The Rise is committed to helping the people of Haiti reconstruct and build schools, homes, community centers, and churches for those who were impacted by natural disasters and other issues. Our La Grotte High School construction project has risen from the completed foundation & 1st Floor to the 2nd Floor & roof.

Food & Healthcare

The people of Haiti struggle with an overburdened and undersupplied food & healthcare system – problems exacerbated by the 2010 Earthquake, 2016’s Hurricane Matthew, the 2021 Earthquake, and recent socio-political issues. Through our volunteer network and local partnerships in on the ground, Haiti On The Rise is committed to improving the procurement and distribution of food & healthcare to communities in need.

Pastoral Endeavors

Faith is essential in the lives of the Haitian people. Such beliefs provide enduring strength, allow those to persevere through life’s hardships, overcome insurmountable situations, and carry on. Haiti On The Rise is committed to supporting this fundamental component of the Haitian culture. By helping to restore and rebuild community and faith centers that have been destroyed, people of faith are able to gather and support one another once again.
