Mission
KANPE, which means "to stand up" in Haitian Creole, is a foundation that supports underserved rural communities in Haiti to help them overcome socio-economic barriers on their way to autonomy. KANPE supports the community of Baille Tourible (BT) in the remote highlands of Haiti's Central Plateau, distinguished by its mountainous terrain, geographic isolation, and difficult access by road. We focus on a holistic and integrated approach, ensuring access to free, quality healthcare and education, economic opportunities, entrepreneurship, local infrastructure strengthening, leadership and agroforestry. We give the poorest a voice so that they can express their needs, priorities, and goals, and we work with strong local Haitian organizations who bring skills, knowledge, tools, and training to support the community towards autonomy.
