The Federation of Regional Haitian Diaspora Associations (FAREHD) is committed to fostering unity among Haitians living abroad and encouraging their active participation in the development of their respective regions in Haiti. One of the key initiatives in this endeavor is the establishment of FAREHD Community Centers. These centers are envisioned as hubs of services and information for Haitians living abroad, with at least one center in each FAREHD chapter.
FAREHD Community Centers are designed to be a 'home away from home' for Haitians living abroad. They are places where members of the Haitian diaspora can connect with their roots, engage with their community, and access essential services and information. The centers aim to foster a sense of belonging and provide a supportive environment for Haitians living in foreign lands.
The centers are equipped to provide a range of services to meet the diverse needs of the Haitian diaspora. From legal advice and immigration assistance to cultural events and language classes, the centers offer a variety of programs designed to support and empower the community. They also serve as a reliable source of information, providing updates on FAREHD's projects and initiatives in Haiti and opportunities for diaspora members to get involved.
Beyond providing services, FAREHD Community Centers play a crucial role in strengthening community bonds. They offer a space for the Haitian diaspora to come together, share experiences, and support each other. They also host cultural events and celebrations that keep Haitian traditions alive and foster a sense of pride and unity among community members.
FAREHD Community Centers also serve as a platform for diaspora members to give back to their homeland. Through fundraising events and volunteer opportunities, the centers enable diaspora members to contribute to FAREHD's projects in Haiti and make a tangible difference in their communities of origin.
FAREHD invites all Haitians living abroad and friends of Haiti to visit our community centers and become part of our mission to empower Haiti. Whether you are looking for services, seeking to connect with your community, or eager to give back to your homeland, FAREHD Community Centers welcome you with open arms.
The establishment of FAREHD Community Centers is a significant step towards realizing FAREHD's vision of uniting Haitians abroad and facilitating their active involvement in the development of their homeland. By providing a space for community engagement, access to services, and opportunities to give back, these centers are set to become a beacon of hope for Haitians abroad.
