HAITI PROJECTS, INC. Haiti Projects, Inc. is a non-profit, charitable corporation, founded in 1995 and registered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It operates in Fond des Blancs, Haiti, a poor, mountainous area 75 miles west of Port au Prince. Most of the inhabitants of Fond des Blancs live, with their impoverished children, on less than one US dollar a day. The goal of Haiti Projects is to help people help themselves. To do so, Haiti Projects developed the five following self-help projects: Cooperative d'Artisanat: A sewing and knitting cooperative that provides work and much needed cash for women Education Initiative: A tuition program to help poor families send their children to school Family Health Clinic: A clinic which offers planning services to those who wish to control their family's size Library: A community library to encourage reading skills among local citizens RATRAP: (Rassemblement Travailleurs Paysan): A micro-lending program to help farmers borrow money for tools and animal raising
