Supporting the Music Schools in Haiti
Present in all aspects of day-to-day life, Haitian musical heritage was severely affected by the earthquake that shook the island in 2010. This is why PSF decided to engage in a long program that sought to support music schools in Haiti.
The project
In order to evaluate the state of degradation of the different elements of Haitian cultural heritage after the earthquake, PSF organized an exploratory mission in Haiti. The results of this mission allowed us to establish a prioritization of our actions in the country. That is why, being aware of the important role played by music in the construction of social bonds, we decided to concentrate our efforts on supporting the work of music schools. The actions carried out were meant to help enhance social bonds by helping sustain a cultural heritage that plays an essential role in society.
