Important Message From Vermont Haiti Project
Dear Friends of VHP,
After much thought and many discussions, it is with heavy hearts we announce we are disbanding Vermont Haiti Project, effective December 31, 2023. While we have had the honor to serve as partners to people in Haiti, accomplishing amazing projects, our capacity as a small volunteer organization cannot be sustained any longer, and it has come time for us to close our 501(c)3 organization.
However, the news is a glass-half-full, as the work continues under the auspices of Society for Reforestation of Duchity, Haiti (SRDH)!
SRDH is a 501(c)3 organization that VHP mentored through a fiscal sponsorship, and we are proud to vouch for them as responsible and caring, and sharing VHP's mission to create solutions for healthier communities. They are already involved with the Duchity community and are passionate about supporting local projects. With guidance from VHP board members, and YOUR generous support, they can continue the momentum of the vocational school, the water filter project, and the new community cistern (under construction).

We are very proud about what VHP has accomplished since its inception, starting with the medical clinic in Desab, still thriving 15 years later with ongoing help from Stone By Stone… an elementary school and community support center in Port au Prince (so vital immediately following the 2010 earthquake)… our clean water initiatives, serving tens of thousands of people… hurricane resistant dome buildings… solar power installation… and the Vocational Training Center in Duchity, with nine graduating classes... and counting!
Every dollar you have gifted VHP has been well used for projects that have improved lives and communities in Haiti. From the depths of our hearts, thank you for being with VHP over the years, and we now hope you continue to keep the momentum by sending future donations to SRDH.org. And don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
Many thanks and much love!
