Mission Statement
Uplifting communities in Haiti through the universal power of music and the arts.
About This Cause
What We Do: Hope on a String operates a community center in the micro-region of Arcahaie, Haiti that is a physical space for community engagement and empowerment through music. At Hope on a String, individuals participate in music classes, performance groups, theater and dance initiatives, as well as skill-building workshops and participatory development initiatives that enrich and empower. In our program, participants build individual confidence, collective pride, powerful relationships, and skills needed to succeed. We invest in locally-driven change, and seek to have a long term impact on a national level by developing a scalable model for social development in Haiti. Why Music? We believe that strong, united communities are critical to sustainable social progress, and that universal affinity for music in Haiti makes it the best tool for sparking participation and engagement. Rich or poor, young or old, anyone can find common bonds through the unifying power of music and the cultural arts. Music is a key pillar of cultural expression in the country and has historically served as an emotional outlet and healing mechanism. By catalyzing a critical level of engagement in the community, we help unite community members in common pursuit of a brighter future, using the rhythms and sounds that resonate in Haitian life. Our Vision of Success: We strive for a future in Haiti where local communities are comprised of highly engaged, self-reliant individuals, leaders, and groups that work together in pursuit of sustainable change. In our vision of success, the Haitian communities we serve are overflowing with constructive collaboration and marked by deep social capital that will help them create brighter futures for generations to come.
