Vassar Haiti Project

Through art auctions and sales, VHP supports the welfare of Haitian artists and artisans.

It began as a small project that supported education and lunch programs at a school in Chermaitre, Haiti, before growing in membership and scope to include medical, water, reforestation, and women's initiatives.

VHP's first capital initiative was to fund the construction of a seven-room primary school, which was completed in 2008.

In early 2011, VHP installed a gravity-driven system of cisterns and PVC piping leading to a faucet by the school.

In late 2011, the VHP began construction on a clinic in Fiervil, Haiti, which will provide health care and education to thousands of residents of Chermaitre and several other remote villages.
