“When passion meet commitment and transparency, amazing things happens!”
Penn Ayiti Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit Christian organization based in Pennsylvania and devoted to improving education for underserved children and youth in Haiti. By a strong faith in our Saviour Jesus, we currently operate a school (COSHAF) in Fonds Parisien, serving over 200 children daily. Despite facing significant challenges, the team have achieved 50% of our ten-year goal of taking 400 students to school.
Under deteriorating conditions, especially after natural disasters, political instability and the gang violence, according to the latest OIM data, there are substantial increases in the number of people seeking refuge in areas where our school is located, or 60% displaced.
To meet more expectations, such as assuming the school’s operational responsibility and meeting the needs of 67 other children where most of them never attend school in the past, we created the Penn Ayiti Foundation Inc.
Our flagship programs are assuming the operational responsibilities of the COSHAF‘s school, scholarship for 67 other children, distribution of school supply kits, equipping (LIPAF) 17 churches leaders via (training, bible, gospel books…) and support financially the online library BAVTGV project to promote access to educational resources for students. In addition to our educational efforts, we establish agricultural cooperatives to empower 5 local farming women. We know that when women thrive, families thrive. We provide training and supply seeds to support sustainable farming practices. This initiative helps improve food security and economic stability in our community.
We have successfully implemented programs related to the above-mentioned in Fonds Verettes and Fond Parisien, Haiti, both rural areas, impacting over 5000 lives and have partnered with other expert, institutions and networks.
Vision: Create a brighter future by doing more for people, teaching them about our Saviour Jesus, ensuring that the children have access to education and spiritual resources for a better life.
Mission: Provide opportunities for educational and spiritual development to improve the lives of individuals in our community.
