SAKALA

provides a safe space in the heart of Haiti's largest underdeveloped area, where youth come together to grow, learn, and play.

10 Years Strong

SAKALA was founded in 2006. More than 10 years later, we're still going strong fostering peace and possibilities in the neighborhoods of Cite Soleil and the world beyond. Send SAKALA a message about how you'd like to help by clicking here.

Friendship

You can't build true peace and possibilities without friendship and SAKALA relies on its strong friendships near and far. we couldn't do it without you! Mèsi anpil! (Thanks very much!)

Sports for Peace

““While information about fugitives taking control of the neighborhood and terrorizing the population intimidates NGOs from coming inside Cite Soleil, our on-going sports activities with the children have brought evidence to NGOs and governments of the needs of this neighborhood. They should rid their minds of the pretext of violence in Cite Soleil that enables them to forget about the people here in their relief and development activities.” ”
— Daniel Tillias, Board Chairman

SAKALA's Community Garden

Our garden helps participants to imagine and enact greener realities in Cite Soleil, as well as to offer a fuller picture of life to the neighborhood's observers.  It opens a space where youth and their families can build a new image of who they are and what they have to offer Haiti.

Computer Learning Center

SAKALA's lab has been updated with several laptops that are equipped with Rosetta Stone for learning to read, write, and speak English. We are also exploring finding ways for our students to take advantage of the wealth of college courses and other learning opportunities now available online. This lab helps to open the entire world to our participants, and fosters a familiarity with technology so necessary for future job opportunities.
