FAQs

Volition and Action Haiti is a nonprofit organization that serves as a bridge to connect generous people to thousands of children in need in Haiti. The word “Volition” means a deep and overwhelming desire. A passion that cannot be denied taking action to solve heart-breaking problems.

VAH seeks out partners (both individuals and organizations) to help us send children in need to school, to help us feed them, help us mentor them while helping their families become sustainable by giving them business training and micro-financing loans to finance their small businesses.

VAH will always present information and reports that give a clear explanation about the programs and operations through our website and our other social medias.

VAH works in some of the hardest-to-reach places in Haiti to help build a better hope and future for the Haitian children. But the need is so great, we cannot do it alone. Whether you are an organization or an individual supporter, we are open for your partnership. Please contact us through our website, social media platform or email us directly.

If you live in Haiti and know a child who is in great need to go to school or if you know a low-income family who want to learn more about business and open their own small businesses, you can refer them to us. However, in both cases, children or families will be chosen based on our criteria of selection.

Yes, once you donate to us, you will receive a receipt in which you can use for tax purposes.

Not sure how to respond to this. Is the donation button set up in a way people can cancel monthly donations?

As we are still smaller in size, we do not currently have a lot of overhead cost. About 90% of your donation goes into implementing our five different programs. Percent will change in the future based on our growth. Any changes will be communicated to the public.

1. Better understand our donors’ demographics.
