Heroes of the Hemisphere Support for Haiti
The Heroes
of the Hemisphere event is designed to
raise money in support of programs and
beneficiaries.
Proceeds from the 2008
Heroes of the
Hemisphere will be used for PADF’s
outstanding programs in Haiti. With nearly 30
years of experience in Haiti, PADF focuses on:
•
Building long-term economic
development
•
Improving agriculture
• Providing immediate
natural disaster relief
• Protecting human
rights
•
Combating trafficking of
persons
•
Supporting border development.
During its past fiscal year, nearly 1
million Haitians benefited from PADF's
programs. PADF’s in-country staff of more than
100 is almost entirely of Haitians, who are
working under tremendously difficult
circumstances but are committed to improving
their country’s future.
PADF works
closely with local organizations, the Haitian
government, the private sector, and the
international community to reach Haiti’s most
disadvantaged people.
