ORGANIC GROWTH. DRAMATIC PROGRESS.

Haiti has had its challenges. Yes, a vast understatement. Haiti has potential. Also a vast understatement!

At Kwasans – from a Creole word meaning growth – we’re dedicated to helping unleash the power and energy of the Haitian people. This beautiful island nation has no shortage of smart, industrious people striving to create a better life for themselves, their families and their communities. What’s lacking is capital.

With your support, our high-impact initiatives will continue enriching the soil. Planting seeds. Empowering Haitians helping Haitians.

Kwasans cannot continue its work to help empower Haitians helping Haitians without the generous support of caring people just like you. Please help revitalize this beautiful country and its resourceful and amazing people by donating to the cause today.

In Memory of Clarence "Earl" Carter

Earl was personally and passionately committed to helping the people of Haiti through the elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis and the prevention of Iodine Deficiency Disorders. His selfless and unsung efforts, ministering with the Congregation of The Holy Cross in Christ’s name, impacted the lives of millions and the course of a nation.

Hear him share about Bon Sel Dayiti, a salt factory that we support in Haiti in this video (starting at 01:41).
