Haiti Soleil is a nonprofit corporation based in Berkeley, California. Haiti Soleil is founded on the belief that to bring about social change in Haiti, the country needs to empower young people by giving them access to safe nurturing spaces, and providing them with opportunities for intellectual exchange and creative expression.

We believe the potential of a society is fulfilled only when all its citizens have access to information. Haiti Soleil seeks to cultivate the intellectual growth of Haiti’s children so they will become self-sufficient, and responsible advocates for a just and civilized society.

HAITI SOLEIL RECEIVES TWO GRANTS FROM DIRECT RELIEF INTERNATIONAL TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY OF CARREFOURFEUILLES.
It is with great pleasure we announce two generous grants awarded to Haiti Soleil.  Direct Relief International has contributed $50,000 towards the rebuilding of our library.  This substantial grant will allow us to start construction of a modern, safe, and spacious building.  More than just a library, Bibliothèque du Soleil will also house a computer lab and a community center as well.  The grant will also be used to develop and facilitate educational programs for Haitians of all ages.  Direct Relief International has also pledged $25,000 to Bureau Doleances Sociales, the emergency group created shortly after the earthquake to provide relief in the community of Carrefour-Feuilles.  These funds will assist outreach efforts for those most affected by the earthquake.  Many people in the Carrefour Feuilles are still lacking basic needs such as adequate food, water and shelter.  This charitable donation will make it possible for hundreds of people to rebuild their lives.  We are honored that Direct Relief International has chosen Haiti Soleil to be their partner in this important work.
