Yele was founded by the Haitian born, Grammy Award winning musician and record producer Wyclef Jean, formerly of The Fugees. Yele Haiti is a grassroots movement, which aims to raise global awareness for Haiti and transform the country through the regeneration of forgotten neighborhoods and programs in education, sports, the arts and environment.
Yele Haiti is building a music studio in Cite Soleil that will combine the recording of music and radio programming with vocational training, micro enterprise opportunities and job creation for at risk youth in that area. The studio is a joint venture between Yele Haiti, Sak Pasé Records – Wyclef Jean’s own record label and Radio Boukman – a popular community radio station in Cité Soleil.
The joint venture arrangement will be committed to using music and radio to promote development and social issues.
