Haiti - Organizations

Organizational activity in Haiti is limited. The Credit Cooperative of Les Cayes, the only cooperative of any significance, has maintained a sizable membership. Branches of the Red Cross, Rotary, Lion's Club, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts function, as does the Masonic Order. A national student movement is organized through the National Federation of Haitian Students. The Center d'Art, an informal artists' cooperative founded in 1944, has exhibited Haitian artists locally and internationally. There is a chamber of commerce in Port-au-Prince.
