The Vassar Haiti Project (VHP), founded in 2001, is a collaborative, all-volunteer, non-profit organization that promotes Haitian art, fosters sustainable development in Haiti, and provides student and community volunteers a life-changing experiential education in global citizenship. By selling the Haitian artworks that we purchase directly from their Haitian creators in Haiti through art auctions and sales, we directly support the welfare of hundreds of Haitian artists and artisans. These art sales in turn provide our primary means of support for funding education, health care, water access and purification, women's empowerment, and reforestation initiatives in Chermaitre, a mountain village in the Northwest department of Haiti, and neighboring communities in the L'Acul region. VHP also has a strong educational component, dedicated both to raising awareness of Haitian culture and history, and to providing a hands-on, practical education in global citizenship to students, alumnae/i, and other participants within VHP. It is incorporated in New York as Haiti Project, Inc., and is a registered U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
