Crayons for Haiti is the beginning of a movement to educate children living in below poverty conditions in Haiti on how to maximize on their available resources in agriculture and in the arts.
By encouraging literacy in children along with their parents, it promotes growth and sparks creative brainstorming to find solutions for daily challenges, such as having pencils and paper to write on, or crayons to color.
A little bit can go a long way.
We know that by encouraging our little ones and teaching them about what is available in their own backyards, and how to maintain it, will surely promote a better quality of life and positive hope for the future.

Entrepreneurs du Monde, founded in 1998, is a French public interest association which works with populations in developing countries. The organisation helps thousands of women and men living in extremely difficult circumstances to improve their living conditions, by supporting their own entrepreneurial ventures and giving them access to products which can bring significant health, economic and environmental benefits. Entrepreneurs du Monde helps these people create the conditions they need to become successful, and in turn make economic and social progress.
The modern and economical equipment it offers through its access to energy programmes improves the living conditions of beneficiaries, reduces the risk of poisoning and contributes to a reduction in large-scale deforestation.
The organization’s name represents the address of our childhood home in Port-au-Prince, where our grandmother and mother offered food, shelter and love to countless children and neighbors over a span of more than 30 years. In honor of these women, we founded Haiti 155 shortly after the devastating earthquake in 2010, which both us survived, and have been working to rebuild and revitalize our country ever since.

Micro-finance programs have made a difference throughout the developing world. With this idea in mind, Helping Haiti Work grew out of Dr. Leslee Jaeger’s volunteer medical mission work in Limbe, Haiti. Since this video was made, Helping Haiti Work has granted many more startup loans (160 total loans!) and still has a 100% payback rate.

Our origin traces back to the village of Adidome, Ghana. In 1963, our founder Ed Bullard traveled there with his family for a year of volunteer service.
Ed was captivated by the spirit and character of the Ghanaian people. But he was appalled by the depth of poverty that surrounded him. A businessman, Ed understood that the contrast between this poverty and his own prosperity came not from any innate difference between himself and a poor Ghanaian farmer.
Instead, the people he saw struggled because they lacked the knowledge, skills and tools needed to lift themselves out of poverty. So in 1968, Ed launched TechnoServe – short for “technology in the service of mankind.” He envisioned TechnoServe as a different type of nonprofit, one that would help poor people by connecting them to information and market opportunities.
