The Impact of U.S. Immigration & Foreign Policy on the Caribbean;
FondMapou needs volunteers and/or interns to disseminate information about Haiti to
dispel negative stereotypes and tackle the campaign of disinformation. We seek interns and volunteers who are interested in
the development of Haiti and empowerment for the Haitian people. For more information contact info@fondasyonmapou.org.
Make your donation today to support
Fondasyon Mapou's work.
FondMapou is working on a number of activities to further the process of rebuilding a Haiti that can provide for the
underprivileged. At present, FondMapou serves as a center of information to combat negative stereotypes, and provides in-depth
political, economic, and social analysis on the situation in Haiti. In addition, we are working with newly
arriving Haitians who are seeking political asylum -providing translation services, and identifying local organizations that
can file their asylum claims. Below you will find a list of past and upcoming events for your
information.
