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. 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.
New! Support Super Students In Cite Soleil
Starting Monday, March 13, SAKALA is starting an exciting campaign through Global Giving to provide scholarships to top students in Cite Soleil, including Bernard, above, a straight-A student who wants to be an agronomist. To learn more or to donate go to Global Giving.org and search for SAKALA (or click on the link above). Mèsi!
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.” ”
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 computers have just been updated with several MacBook Pro's and iPads, equipped with Rosetta Stone for learning read, write, and speak English. This lab helps to open the entire world to our participants, and fosters a familiarity with technology so necessary for future job opportunities.
