Creating a Sustainable Society, One Village at a Time

Individuals residing in Haiti or abroad and Organizations operating in Haiti or Abroad can:
  • create several Mutual Aid Groups
  • sponsor several Mutual Aid Groups
  • sponsor several Mutual Aid Group Facilitators
Reciprocitas supports mutual Aid Groups for 18 months. The donation amount required to sponsor a Mutual Aid Group for 18 months is US$9,000 for a mutual aid group of 5 people, US$12,600 for a mutual aid group of 7, and US$16,200 for a mutual aid group of 9.
A Mutual Aid Group Facilitator is also chosen in the Communal Section among the unemployed aged 15 to 64 living in poverty and social exclusion conditions. A Mutual Aid Group facilitator supervises several Mutual Aid Groups. They must have at least a high school diploma. A Mutual Aid Group facilitator receives a monthly participation incentive of US$120 for the first Mutual Aid Group and an increase in the participation incentive of US$20 for each additional Mutual Aid Group they supervise up to a maximum of 10 mutual aid groups.

The Mutual Aid Group Facilitator provides 20 hours of work for carrying common interest work in the Communal Section and receives 10 hours of training per week. The Mutual Aid Group facilitator does on-site supervision visits to monitor the work of the Mutual Aid Groups. They provide training to Mutual Aid Group members, receive weekly training, find new partnering organizations and businesses, and maintain a working relationship with existing local partnering organizations.

Enhanced Partnership With Local Organizations
A Mutual Aid Group, partly or in its entirety, can be assigned to work with a partnering organization operating in a Communal Section to acquire on-the-job skills while carrying out common interest work. Each member of the Mutual Aid Group will give 20 hours of work per week to the partnering organization and will receive 10 hours of training per week from that partnering organization. And Reciprocitas will provide the monthly participation incentive of US$100.
