Although the waters of Hurricane Jeanne have disappeared, Haiti remains to be the least-developed country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world. The people of Haiti can still use your help.

If you would like to help, Haiti Relief Fund recommends making your donations to Yéle Haiti at www.yele.org.

Yéle Haiti's mission is to use the potent combination of music and development to create small-scale, manageable and replicable projects to contribute to Haiti’s long-term progress. Each initiative is imbued with the unique power that only music possesses, reflecting the passion of Wyclef, Yéle’s founder. Whether utilizing local hip-hop musicians to deliver food in an isolated and forgotten neighborhood or crafting tunes for the radio to build popular support for a particular project, each program creatively integrates music as a central element in project delivery and radiates the essence of this synergy at its core.

Each of Yéle’s projects is conceived as a catalyst for the larger goal of helping to leverage resources and foster renewed hope for Haitians to rebuild their nation. Central to this mission is helping to project a new forward-thinking image that accurately reflects Haiti’s youthful population and their unique and irrepressible spirit, which is an integral part of their culture. We firmly believe that given a genuine opportunity to shape the future, Haiti’s youth will shock the world with their ability to take Haiti to the next level.

Thank you for your interest and continued support of Haiti's future.
