Promise for Haiti works hand-in-hand with the Comite Bienfaisance de Pignon (CBP) to make our mission a reality. Promise for Haiti is responsible for fundraising, coordinating trips for teams of volunteers to work in Pignon, public relations, as well as collaborating with CBP to plan strategically for the future.  Our boards are comprised of volunteer members only.
