We are dedicated to advocating for our Sister project in Haiti. Education and wellness is a priority. In Ayiti (Haiti), although many students face challenges to access school and enrollment is 53%, it is with great pride to see that the Haitian Literacy rate for students is 83%. Our hope is to improve conditions so more students have opportunities to access school and thrive.
Lakou Inspires Greatness
We champion for our most vulnerable community members to guide them to fulfill their life purpose. We plan to inspire others to have access to greater opportunities.
Health and Sports are a priority. In the future, we hope to restore traditional food in Ayiti (Haiti) and advocate for food sovereignty to increase wellness. We know that by restoring Ayiti (Haiti) natural resources will also promote ecological sustainability. We are developing a program to collaborate with local leaders and organizations to empower the Haitian community.
You may be interested to know that Haiti is a member of FIFA since 1934, and Soccer is played by people of all ages; which is fun way to bring community together. Soccer is a great activity for youth and helps provide opportunities to practice conflict resolution, maintain physical and emotional health, and also helps at risk youth avoid activities that could lead to a difficult path, such as crime or drugs.
