MOSCTHA was founded in 1985 as the socio-cultural movement for Haitian workers. It is a non-profit organization, whose main objective was initially to promote the development of Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic, but has grown since then, to also assist the underprivileged communities of both Haiti and the Dominican Republic. MOSCTHA is dedicated to the environmental, cultural, and social progressions of the under-represented and underprivileged communities.

We aim to:

• Promoting the education and defense of the human rights of immigrants and their families by means of conferences, seminars, and legal aid;

• Fostering cooperative community and entrepreneurial development by promoting self-management and community participation in local development plans, especially in border areas;

• Training the population in projects fostering new alternative agricultural and business opportunities, job opportunities, access to microcredit, and management of microenterprises.

• Developing medical care and comprehensive health programs in shanty towns and border areas;

• Fostering water resource and environmental education and organizing environmental clean-up days with direct participation by the communities;

• Running comprehensive educational programs on such topics as community organization and management, leadership, family planning, domestic violence, and gender equality.

MOSCTHA seeks to be a recognized institution by implementing programs and comprehensive community development projects. It assists underprivileged members of society to evolve into self-relying individuals who will not only help themselves, but also help others to build solid communities. MOSCTHA promotes respect for human rights, which meets the needs of the population meta, with a participatory organizational structure, management effective, staff trained and committed to the Mission of the institution.
