Note from the founder

Alexandre Miot

We have created Haiti Outreach with a long-term vision, given the impoverished, underdeveloped environment they live in today.

All Haitians deserve access to clean water, and their children deserve an adequate level of education. We may not change the face of Haiti but we can certainly improve the lives of many - one community at a time.

 

Because of better awareness, more and more students are interested in sustainable development and are willing to volunteer to help communities in need. Our organization gives them the opportunity to learn and make a difference in Haiti; our poor neighbor situated only 600 miles away from Florida’s coast.

Haiti Outreach has been working in Haiti for over ten years, they are aware of the real needs of the population and the social context of the country. Combining their field experience, the expertise of the IIT community in many fields and the enthusiasm of the students will lead to sustainable solutions for the Haitian people. In addition to helping population in need, students are given an opportunity to apply their skills on real life team projects that challenge them outside of the classroom.

 

As of Spring 2007, we have over fort students working on three different projects. Some students compute, design and draw; others manage, communicate and fundraise, but they all work towards the same goal: to make a difference and spread a bit of their good fortune to those less fortunate.
