Who we are

Sister Cities Essex Haiti was created in June 2010 by a group of dedicated residents in the Town of Essex with the support of the Selectmen. It serves as a portal through which people who are interested in making a positive, measurable impact on a community in Haiti can do so while developing relationships with the people in that community.

The relationship is fostered by two boards: Sister Cities Essex Haiti, Inc., located in Essex, Connecticut, and Organization Pour Development Economique et Social (Organization for Economic and Social Development “ODES”), located in Deschapelles, Haiti. ODES was organized in 2007 by volunteers in Deschapelles, Haiti to improve their community. Together, we work on projects that will benefit the people of Deschapelles.

Besly Belizaire: Rising Up to be a Leader in His Community: 2020

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…
