Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. The problems of poverty and food scarcity are well documented. Identifying and implementing sustainable solutions to these problems is crucial. Our purpose is to provide opportunities for Haitian people to overcome poverty and become self-sustaining.
While there is a time for relief – an immediate response to emergency situations, such as a family on the brink of starvation – sustainable development focuses on providing resources that are not depleted over time. KORE implements programs that empower people rather than create dependency, equipping communities to change their own futures. We focus on addressing immediate needs AND empowering future generations with the ultimate goal of breaking the cycle of extreme poverty.
Unlike relief dollars that are given, spent and must be replenished, dollars invested in economic development, or “business as ministry”, never stop working.
