Haitian sisters work for their communities in two countries

The World

Two sisters from Haiti have founded separate nonprofits: one at an institution based in Boston that serves immigrant families, the other in Port-au-Prince at an after-school center for kids and teens. The siblings grew up in Port-Salut, a coastal beach town in southern Haiti, raised by parents who taught them to put others first and share anything they had. GBH’s Tori Bedford has a profile.
