According to Amnesty International, 77% of Haitians live on less than $2 each day. We believe an improved standard of living in Haiti begins with free enterprise and solid infrastructure; Haiti 155 promotes both, utilizing a grassroots approach to foster self-sufficient communities. Founded by brothers Lionel and Constant Bernard, Haiti 155 is a sector 501(c)(3) organization based in Brooklyn, NY. We aim to build a permanent bridge of friendship between Americans and Haitians through which long-lasting social and economic change will arise. Our mission to institute favorable social change is manifested in our various community development projects, like establishing reliable electricity for the Port-au-Prince community of Fontamara. Ultimately, such improvements will enable Haitian communities to realize their collective potentials, allowing for self-sustaining autonomy. In accordance with our confidence in the free market, Haiti 155 also sells authentic Haitian goods at Brooklyn Flea in Williamsburg and also through Art for Ayiti (currently under construction) to provide an expanded market for Haitian artisans.

Haiti 155
