Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Hope on a String is a non-profit, grassroots organization that seeks to foster an environment of social transformation and economic development in Haiti through participation in music.

We seek to foster an environment of social transformation and economic development in Haiti through participation in music. Music is a key pillar of Haitian culture, serving not only as an emotional outlet and a healing mechanism for individuals and communities, but also as a universally-accessible vehicle for galvanizing community unity. We believe in building community engagement through participation in music and facilitating support for community-driven initiatives. In our model, music excellence in individuals is a potential by-product in our ultimate goal: community engagement in social issues.
