Partnership
We partner with organizations that share our vision. Never alone, never around the community.
Who we are
Reading is the bridge to equity.
One vision, one mission, five values. This is the whole playbook.
Our vision
Partners in Literacy Haiti collaborates with the Haitian people, libraries and educational institutions so that reading proficiency and learning success rise together.
Our mission
Enhance reading through Kreyòl books, technology and training for children from birth to eight years old, their families and their teachers, in community libraries, schools and centers.
What we stand on
Five values, lived daily
Action
As many children as possible, as early as possible. The first years are when a brain builds itself.
Education
Passion for learning, with the flexibility to find new solutions when old ones stop working.
Stewardship
Every dollar is used responsibly. Our board is entirely volunteer.
Literacy equality
We raise the reading ability of the most marginalized children first, not last.

Global alignment
Part of the United Nations 2030 agenda
The UN names libraries as key partners in its seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, because a library gives a community access to information, protects cultural heritage and puts knowledge in people's hands. Every PILH village library advances that agenda.
