AKASAN is a konbit mobilizing Haitian resources everywhere to help Haitians stand tall everywhere.
AKASAN gives energy! Many Haitians, especially those who grew up among the most disadvantaged classes, have a special place in their hearts for AKASAN. Ayisyen Ki Ap Soutni Ayisyen Nètalkole (Haitians Who Really Support Haitians) is what AKASAN is today.
Friends and family ask us this question. The short answer: support Haitian organizations with a good record of building local capacity.
Our mission is to help Haitians, wherever they are, invest energy and resources in Konbit activities that bring a better quality of life to Haitians everywhere. “Konbit” is a Kreyòl word rooted in an African tradition of working the land in groups, still alive in rural Haitian communities.
We know their work and can vouch for the integrity of the committees.
