About Us

Creating Cohesive Communities

Our vision is a Haiti where young people are enabled to reach their full potential through access to quality education and skills training.

Mission And Initiatives

Our Mission:

We support and empower underprivileged Haitian youth living in rural areas to acquire the tools, education and key life skills they need to find or create sustainable employment that forms the foundation of long-term economic development and builds strong communities.

Our Initiatives:

We currently provide scholarships for young people aged 17-24 from Fort-Liberté and Cap Haitien. The scholarships allow them to further technical and vocational skills training which enables them to make positive life choices.

We invest in girls’ and boys’ education for long-term, systemic change. To this end, we collaborate with community leaders at the local, and regional level which ensures that our work complements their efforts and is scalable and sustainable.
