Beyond Borders

Caribbean

BMPC Liaison:  Bill Hanna

Mission:
Beyond Borders helps people build movements to liberate themselves from oppression and isolation. In Haiti and the United States, we are bringing people together for just and lasting change. We support movements in Haiti to:

•  End child slavery,

•  Guarantee universal access to education,

•  End violence against women and girls,

•  Replace systems that oppress the poor with systems that support dignified work and sustainable livelihoods.

Vision:
We see in Haiti, the seed for a new world, a world where:

•  People overcome great challenges by learning to question, dream, and act together,

•  Women and men find more power by balancing power equally,

•  Families and communities thrive on foundations of trust and mutual respect,

•  Diversity is seen as a sign of strength,

•  All children grow up surrounded by people who love, nurture, and educate them,

•  We all find deeper meaning in our lives by coming to value truth over comfort, sharing over having, and justice over personal gain.

Identity:
Beyond Borders was founded in response to the challenge of Jesus' words and life of radical love.  In all we do we attempt to measure our success by this standard.  We welcome all, regardless of their faith, who will join us in supporting these movements for liberation.  We find strength and wisdom in the dialogue that diversity allows.

Volunteer Opportunities:
Help us make a difference. Strengthening movements in Haiti that liberate people from isolation and oppression takes a global effort of support.  You might not know it, but you are more powerful than you think. Even the smallest action can have a meaningful impact. Everyone can make a difference.  Seventh-grader Matthew makes an amazing difference by selling Cards of Joy, with the proceeds going to support Beyond Borders. We welcome the opportunity to work with you to make a difference. From volunteering to fundraising to traveling to Haiti, there are so many different ways to get involved. Explore the options at our web site, or feel free to contact us to learn more.
