PARK TOOL PRODUCTS IN HAITI

Group of young Haitian men with bikes The shop has been a success and continues to operate, using blue tools.

After the earthquake in Haiti, January 2010, it has become a challenge for people just to get around. Bicycles have become more important as a means of transportation. There are many bicycles in Haiti that are in need of repair. So when Mica Stumpf of the Doroteia Pathways Foundation asked for our help, we sent tools to Haiti so she could establish a bike repair shop there and train Haitians to staff it.
