Description
The Vassar Haiti Project is a non-profit organization committed to education, nutrition, and the arts in Haiti. We support education in a Haitian village, and seek to educate our own community the culture, history, and art of Haiti.
VHS raises money to support education and sustainability in Chermaitre, a village in Haiti.
Most of VHP’s revenue comes from the auction and sale of Haitian art, which is purchased from craftsmen at market price, providing them a source of income. VHP is composed of a committed team of volunteers comprising Vassar students and members of the local community.
Additionally, a significant amount of aid is received in the form of gifts and donations. To find out how you can help or join, contact Andrew Meade Co-chair of VHP 845-437-5831 e-mail: haitiproject@vassar.edu or visit the website at
