Mission: The Siloe Project is a US 501(c)(3) that provides charitable support for the PAZAPA Center for Children with Disabilities in Jacmel, Haiti. A Creole slur implying worthlessness and disgrace is the colloquial term in Haiti for children with disabilities. Haitian schools do not accept them. Epilepsy and other treatable disabilities go undiagnosed. Children who are deaf don't have the opportunity to learn sign language, and those with developmental disabilities are hidden in their homes. They are truly Haiti's "forgotten children." PAZAPA's mission is to support these families to lead full lives and integrate into their communities. Since 1987, thousands of children have passed through our doors and received the medical and surgical care, rehabilitation, education, and support they need.
