Mission: Haiti Outreach, Inc. is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Pignon, Haiti, with an administrative and fundraising office in Minnesota. Committed to the vision that Haiti become a developed country, we work with communities in Haiti on water, education and other projects that the communities initiate, help build and sustain. We operate using a 4-point community development model for long term sustainability to ensure that the projects will last over a long period of time. In order for this to happen, a maintenance program based on an economic system - a community savings account to which all users contribute and from which future repairs can be paid - is created and used. Our work is based on a grassroots effort involving community responsibility, participation and ownership, unlike many well-intentioned development projects that lack this economic sustainability element and end up creating a dependency. (Less)
