HYRO cares about Haiti! We also discovered that our desire to care could only gain meaningful reach, through numbers. Before we could ‘do’, we needed to ‘be’. Therefore, we made a deliberate and successful attempt to grow substantially for the vision of community development and support. Today, our successes over the past three years are due to the numbers we have been able to achieve and continue to seek.

“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.” – Margaret J. Wheatley

We want this vision to continue! Unity is strength and strength is in numbers. HYRO seeks continued membership from professionals and others with unique skill-sets to serve as counsel/guide for our younger and less experienced members. It is our vision that more professional members will avail themselves to be mentors and resource agents, accessible to the youths upon requests.
