Telling Our Narrative
The Haitian Women's Collective
Stand with us and support a cause that matters!
We invest in women-led Haitian organizations to advance meaningful and lasting social, cultural, and economic change
Who We Are
The Haitian Women's Collective is a nonprofit organization founded in 2017 to amplify the voices of Haitian women-led organizations and change the narrative of locally-led humanitarian assistance and long-term development. Rooted in the belief that investing in women and girls leads to lasting change, we were created by Haitian and Haitian-American women to accelerate women-led local solutions in Haiti through a gender justice lens.
What We Do
The Haitian Women's Collective envisions a world where women and girls have the resources and respect to drive sustainable change, paving pathways towards a Haiti characterized by equity, peace, and prosperity. By pioneering a new model of philanthropy in Haiti, we're investing in and strengthening the capacity of women-led organizations and feminist movements, advancing lasting social, cultural, and economic change for generations to come.
How We Do It
Utilizing a feminist framework and a gender justice lens, the Haitian Women's Collective employs a trust-based partnership model that leverages the expertise of local partners renowned for their community-driven impact. We foster local leadership and learning by collaborating with and convening Haitian women-led organizations and provide capacity building and flexible funding that advances equity and opportunities for women and girls. We also advocate for international policy reform towards Haiti to support women-centered peace-building and local empowerment.
