Benefit Concert for Haiti

A little over four years ago, on January 12th, Haiti was struck by a devastating Earthquake. Inspired through citizen action to provide assistance and relief in the aftermath, CDi and Bwé Kafé were independently born in Hoboken, NJ�.






Join us in commemorating. Learn about our love for Haiti, about our programs, and about the beauty of the Haitian spirit. At Bwe Kafe, corner of Washington and Tenth Streets in Hoboken, NJ. Conveniently located within less than 20 minutes from Manhattan via PATH Train of NJ Transit Bus. � 





Four years ago, January 12th 2010, the devastating Earthquake that struck Haiti caused misery and hardship for hundreds of thousands of people at an epic scale. The Earthquake also gave rise to a group of private citizens who traveled to Port-au-Prince to provide relief and emergency assistance to a population of over 1,000 in the area of Bel-Air. This group, inspired and deeply affected by what they saw, returned home to form the organization CDi. Today, CDi remembers the suffering and commemorates the tragic events and their aftermaths of four years ago. Our hearts and our hopes continue to go out to those in need, in distress and in hardship. 





Please join us for this Benefit Concert on February 1. Enjoy live Haitian music, food & drink specials, photo exhibits and more. Learn about the innovative ways in which CDi and partners, domestic and international, are working to empower individuals and communities to become sustainable, healthy and economically empowered. We encourage partnership and collaboration across borders, and focus on fostering community relations through a universal notion of environmental stewardship and interconnectedness through various programs, at the center of which are sustainable agriculture and environmental restoration.
