Public Art: The Rural Haiti Project

The Rural Haiti Project, founded in New York, brings professionals and teachers from across Haiti and around the world to lead workshops in rural Haitian schools on art, architecture, culture, environmental protection, media, technology and public policy.  The project strives to instill and support the importance of developing and maintaining a strong community through community service.  By empowering students with education and the tools necessary to build infrastructure children are prepared to embrace the Rural Haiti Project’s message,  “This is your town, your country, your responsibility – you can change it.”

The Rural Haiti Projects’ green initiative includes an emphasis on plastic bottle collection, recycling, planting trees and, peer to peer and peer to adult education on environmemtal responsibility.  For more information or to donate time or money contact info@ruralhaitiproject.org.
