NEW Partnership! Projects 4 Haiti (P4H Global)

The Imperative is proud to partner with P4H Global on their water access, agriculture and education projects in Haiti.

In September 2023, a movement began to support the construction of a canal in Ouanaminthe, which has expanded to building more canals in other parts of the Northeast of Haiti. P4H Global, has overseen the spending of funds raised through our campaign for the canals. The Haitian Diaspora and others around the world have banded together to see this project through by donating over $144,500 to the effort.

Join Us in Mombasa, Kenya for The Global African Diaspora Forum 2024!

The conference intends to support civil society initiatives in the region by adding the voice of various human rights and climate change activists, genuine conservationists on the continent, and in the African diaspora to support the work of those on the Continent. The Conference is intended as the mechanism by which a strategic bridge can be used to establish and facilitate the exchange of talent, academic material and research, and expertise, matching the continent’s needs with the resources available within the diaspora communities.
