COLORADO HAITI PROJECTThe Colorado Haiti Project ( CHP ) is a state-wide non-profit organization founded in 1989 to extend aid to the poorest of the poor in a rural area called Petit Trou de Nippes, about 80 miles west of Port-au-Prince. CHP is supported entirely by donations from private individuals, foundations, and over 40 Episcopal churches in Colorado. Our primary mission is with the Episcopal Mission of St. Paul's, where we work in collaboration with the Priest-in-Charge, Archdeacon Kesner Gracia and a committee of community advisors, to help provide education, vocational training, health care, nutrition and clean water within the mission setting.We take a deliberate, planned approach to developing all factors needed for a healthy, self-sufficient community: schooling, vocational training, microcredit lending, clean water and nutrition, and basic health care. We coordinate with community leaders at every stage, toward the goal of a permanent community infrastructure, which is maintainable by the local community and replicable in other communities of Haiti. Our partners in Haiti seek self-sufficiency, not hand-outs, and we seek ways to help every individual find a life of hope and dignity. The key components of our development model are:
