“Haiti Onward is building a collaboration model that draws from all we know about best practices in the NGO sector, like capacity building from the bottom up. They’ve created a non-overlapping system where each organization is playing a supportive role towards the larger vision of bringing ecological and economic stability to the Haitian community. It is truly a systemic solution and a model that should be replicated many times over across the world.”  – The Buckminster Fuller Institute

They have a resolve and resiliency—a spiritual entrepreneurship—that demonstrates a power even greater than the environmental disaster that leveled their country.

It was developed to deliver efficient collaborative solutions that leverage the collective wisdom and orchestrate the key resources of partner organizations, businesses, investors and community leaders committed to the sustainable reconstruction of the country.

The approach results in an inclusive pathway for the citizens of Haiti to rebuild their lives and communities in ways that serve as powerful demonstrations of how self-determination, resiliency and sustainability are at the heart of personal freedom, economic stability ad environmental stewardship.
