Meadows Social Enterprise Program in Haiti

In January 2011, a team of six graduate student fellows from the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the McCombs School of Business traveled to the small rural town of Creve, in northwestern Haiti. Working in collaboration with a faith-based U.S. nonprofit that has been active in the Creve community for the past ten years, the Meadows Fellows were tasked with interviewing local stakeholders and developing a community needs assessment and plan to prioritize future investments.
