What we do

Collaboration among early education teachers

Through fundraising and hard work, Sister Cities Essex Haiti has accomplished much in Deschapelles, including:

  • Built a library and community center
  • Supply and staff that library
  • Offer teacher training workshops
  • Deliver school supplies to the children
  • Provide musical instruments and lessons
  • Oversee athletic programs

But the most important success is the response of the people of Deschapelles to not only take advantage of these opportunities but to take ownership of the projects and grow them according to the needs of their community.  There is still much to do and we hope you will support our efforts.

Sister Cities Essex Haiti has organized over thirty educational and cultural events in southeastern Connecticut since  2010 to raise funds and to increase awareness of the culture and needs of the people in Deschapelles, Haiti.

Back in March of 2020, when the world first learned about Covid-19, one of the things we heard over and over again was “wash your hands.” For those of us in the States, that is a fairly simple task; we have running water at our sinks, and we can purchase soap with a simple trip to the grocery store. For our friends in Deschapelles, Haiti, that is a luxury that not many have. Read more…
