Sustainable Development and Women's Organizing
To provide training and seed money for a community-run microcredit and savings fund. To provide Haitian grassroots organizations with vitally important agricultural inputs such as plows, farm animals and grain mills; to also provide their members with the knowledge they need to make their projects successful.
World Neighbors focuses on training and educating communities to find lasting solutions to the challenges they face – hunger, poverty and disease – rather than giving them food, money or constructing buildings. Communities tell World Neighbors what their needs are, and World Neighbors, in turn, works with them to acquire the knowledge, skills and organization to solve their problems.
Haiti Grassroots Watch
Haiti Grassroots Watch. is a collaboration of two Haitian organizations, Groupe Medialternatif/Alterpresse and the Society for the Animation of Social Communication (SAKS), along with students from the Faculty of Human Sciences at the State University of Haiti and members of two networks – the network of women community radio broadcasters (REFRAKA) and
the Association of Haitian Community Media (AMEKA), which is comprised
of community radio stations located across the country. LEARN MORE HERE.
Haiti Grassroots Watch produces text, audio and video content in Haitian Creole, French and English for audiences in Haiti, in the Haitian diaspora (in Creole and English), as well as in North America, Latin America and throughout the world. The effort focuses on "watchdogging" the aid and reconstruction from the point of view of Haiti's majority, at the same time as it also provides historical and political context, examines structural causes and challenges, and seeks out Haitian academics, technicians and specialists who will add their voices to the voices of the Haitian people and their associations and organizations.
