About Us
The Haitian earthquake that caused so much death and destruction may have set in motion a cultural shift that, in the long run, could benefit the island nation.
That is the hope of Reverend Paul Aladin, founder and Executive Director of United Hearts for Haiti. Since it's inception in 2008 the organization has been working for better education, medical training, clean drinking water, agricultural advancement, and to bring sustainability to the infrastructure to the island by teaching courses on welding, plumbing & electrical.
Aladin has seen over the years that since the massive destruction from the 2010 earthquake has effected the population centers of his native country, many people are drifting back to smaller communities, where, he said, they will ultimately find better chances for economic and educational opportunity.
That is where United Hearts for Haiti has begun to played a pivotal role in the nation's long-term recovery. First by raising money for things like scholarships for Haitians looking to get an education and now with the building of a trade school that is teaching skills that will help build a new infrastructure to the future of Haiti.
This school is located in Cavillion a rural town located in the Aquin Arrondissement of the Sud department of Haiti. Over the years doctors and nurses have visited to engage individuals in training seminars and workshops. Those interested in agriculture and farming have traveled to set up community garden spaces within the city and at the school. Welding professionals have engaged in training modules and assisted in gathering equipment for future courses.
United Hearts for Haiti seeks to make a difference in the lives of others and share the word of God. It started with a piece of land and has grown into a learning center for both Haitians and the people that travel there to move this project forward.
