AKASAN

Haitians supporting Haitians, for real.

A konbit mobilizing Haitian resources everywhere to help Haitians stand strong.

Wondering where to give to really help Haitians?

Support Haitian organizations with a good record of building local capacity, such as Konbit Pou Port-a-Piment.

It is also my honour and privilege to often join forces with fellow comrades in the struggle, particularly those who maintain a clear stance within the resistance movement against bloodthirsty imperialists:

Canada Haiti Action Network

Solidarité Québec-Haiti

Eritye Papa Desalin

Komite Mobilizasyon Kont Diktati an Ayiti (KOMOKODA)

Ayisyen Ki Ap Soutni Ayisyen Nètalkole (AKASAN)

Viv Bondye! Aba Relijyon!
