In Haiti, 
rural communities 
have limited access to economic opportunities, quality education, and reliable healthcare. KANPE works 
alongside these communities to develop solutions 
that build on their strengths, empowering women, youth, and families to truly 
thrive.
Our
Approach
KANPE works alongside the most remote and underserved rural communities in Haiti, placing local leadership at the heart of its action. We rely on an integrated model that acts on several fronts at once: leadership, entrepreneurship and economic development, education, agroforestry, healthcare, and infrastructure.
Our Approach Is Holistic
KANPE sees development as a set of issues that are all interconnected. We bring together social, economic, environmental, and cultural dimensions, with a long-term vision that lays the groundwork for future generations. Learn more
The Role of Women
In rural areas, women are the potomitan – a term meaning the pillars of their families and communities. KANPE supports them as they become entrepreneurs, leaders, and builders of the future. Learn more
Local Partnerships
We work hand in hand with Haitian organizations, community associations, and local leaders. These strong alliances ensure an impact that is firmly rooted in the realities of the communities. Learn more

Our Impact Is Sustainable
At KANPE, sustainability is rooted in people. By training local leaders, especially youth and women, we ensure that every initiative endures and is passed down from generation to generation. Our programs take deep root in communities, fostering a more prosperous future. Learn more
