Raise money for WORK
About WORK
Our mission is to accompany families in Haiti and beyond out of poverty through good, dignified jobs.
- We accompany families out of poverty through dignified work, and for good
- We start by asking them where their greatest needs lie, and we address these challenges by co-designing solutions
- Together, we remove barriers that stand in their way to success and finally, we invest in work for our families that provides a living income
- Oftentimes, this is in the format of micro and small businesses that address needs in their communities, eliminating food deserts, enabling access to low-cost transportation and clean energy, and more
- It also includes a growing number of small and mid-size recycling centers.
What we're most proud of is that each income opportunity is dictated by our families, owned, and operated long term by them.

"Being a charity runner with WORK meant that the journey to race day was connected to a larger cause AND a local community. The WORK team cheered me on, wanted to hear about my experience, and encouraged me. Before, during, and after race day, they found creative ways to celebrate what we, as a team of runners, accomplished for ourselves and for the families that WORK supports." - Alaina Webber
"I’m proud to support WORK and am still waiting for the day that I can officially run across Haiti!" - Matt Katase
"I know the challenges in Haiti are great and systemic, and I believe in WORK's approach of lifting families out of poverty through meaningful work. The fact that improving our environment is part of the focus makes WORK even more compelling." - Gretchen Jezerc
