Center for the Haitian Community Working in Partnership, Inc. (CHPC) is a 501c3 tax-exempt and non-profit organization located in Haiti (with office in Florida) that partners with the Haitian Diaspora to invest in the future of the children and youth of Mariaman, which is located north of Port au Prince. The children in both the internal and external programs are provided with a safe environment, food, access to education and health care. CHPC offers a safe alternative for those children and youth at risk because of homelessness and/or severe poverty.”
CHPC was established in 2007 when Mr. Clervil Salomond who lived in the area, noticed the large number of children roaming the streets, begging, and having no access to education. Some were homeless and many were living in extreme poverty, without access to sanitation or clean water. Clervil wanted to offer them a future full of hope so he opened up his house to them and it is still in use today for our internal program. An external program has been added to follow the children after age 18 to provide food and educational assistance to them, which include transportation to and from schools.
