Solid’Ayiti is an initiative of artists and activists in Montreal working to build longterm solidarity between people in Montreal and movements for social justice in Haiti. Artists for Haiti, an initiative of Solid’Ayiti is launching in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, that has left tens-of-thousands death, major elements of the public infrastructure destroyed and a country already the poorest in the western hemisphere severely wounded. Solid’Ayiti will work to promote self-sufficiency, independence, social justice and peace in Haiti.
Artists for Haiti I will be raising funds for Lycée Jean-Baptiste Cinéas in Limbé, Haiti. For many years the Lycee was using the space of l’ecole nationale des filles until its construction during the 1st term Rene Preval government. The Lycee has 2 sets of classes, morning and afternoon, of approximately 2000 students, boys and girls and 100 staff. However it has no funding, no library, no cafetaria, no computer labs, no court to play in. All funds received will be directed towards this school to secure funding for continued education, all the more important given the devastating events since Jan 12th.
