Raising Haiti Foundation is inspired by the grassroots development model Father Joseph Philippe has established in rural Haiti through APF Haiti (Asosyasyon Peyizan Fondwa). Rooted in the rural village of Fondwa, APF Haiti has led its community in establishing programs for education, healthcare, child safety and much more. We believe such resources are not only basic human rights, but also fundamental building blocks of any thriving community. Headquartered in Washington DC, Raising Haiti Foundation’s mission is to develop sustainable resources for the financial, technical and administrative support of these programs so that Fondwa and other rural communities in Haiti can continue their work of advancement.
