ASSOCIATION of HAITIAN WOMEN in BOSTON
"Before and After the Earthquake"

The Association of Haitian Women in Boston (AFAB) is a grassroots
organization founded by a group of "sisters" from different social,
religious and economic backgrounds. For over 20 years, it has been a strong
political voice in the Haitian community. AFAB's mission is to empower
Haitian women by helping them develop the individual and collective capacity
to improve their status, thus the ability to effect positive changes in
their and their families' lives.

AFAB provides a number of programs and services to the Haitian community,
including Housing & Housing Advocacy, Adult Education, Youth Development,
Domestic Violence Prevention and Legal Assistance. In recent months, it has
joined other local Haitian organizations raising money for earthquake
victims and rebuilding efforts, forming the Haitian-American Relief Fund.
