About Us
The Connecticut Haitian American Organization, Inc. is a non-profit organization that has been providing resources to the Haitian community in Connecticut for over 10 years. It has set up a committee that is working directly with community leaders, civic leaders, and clergy members to launch a drive to collect monetary funds and basic supplies for those directly affected. The objective of the organization is to provide direct assistance to victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
Our mission is to promote a better understanding of the Haitian culture while encouraging the participation of diverse organizations and individuals to provide assistance to the people of Haiti.
