We believe that as individuals are transformed in the way they see the world they bring their families and communities with them in their transformation

Who we are.

We are a group of Haitian, Christian community development practitioners and global partners who are working to help holistically develop families and communities in Haiti.

Through the many complications and violence seen over the last few years in Haiti, our leadership and team remains faithful to this goal: to see communities empowered, families lifted up, and children cared for in caring and loving places. Join our global network!

Konbit | Together

Our stories intersected and that is how Konbit Haiti began.

All of our leadership team have spent over a decade working in outreach, community development, missions, and relief sectors in both Haiti and other countries. We work together to bring holistic community development to areas of Montrouis, Haiti and beyond through our various experiences.

Amazingly, we have over 50 staff and volunteers who are working hard to empower families, community members, and children to serve God and their neighbor.

Our Guiding Principles

  • Local-led

    We believe we are called to facilitate and empower locally-led solutions throughout Haiti and the DR.

  • Biblical Justice + Shalom

    We are a faith-based organization which stands against systems of oppression and manipulation, in favor of restoring relationships between ourselves and the environment, God, one another, and ourselves.

  • People over Projects

    We believe in people. We do not start projects without the buy-in of people. Instead, we focus on capacity building of people and communities for sustainable transformation.

  • Appreciative Inquiry

    We believe in strengthening what works— we appreciate what works and lean into that for community transformation!

  • Global Partners

    We believe there is a place for global partners! When you partner with Konbit Haiti, you are bringing change to Haiti and the world by doing mission, development, and life differently.
