Welcome to
Friends for the Advancement of Education in Haiti
FAEH is focused on giving the gift of
education to Haiti’s youth!
ABOUT US
Our Story
FAEH was formally created as a nonprofit in January 2024
Four friends, Jean, Smith, Garcien, and Phalange reconnected following the 2021 Haitian Earthquake that affected their hometown. The school they all met in was unfortunately destroyed, and the group met to discuss how they could help their beloved school and community. The team reflected on all the people who were able to help them financially when they were at their lowest and helped them achieve their goals of becoming successful, educated professional. With the help of Pascale, their newest member, the group of five decided that the best thing they can do is to pay it forward and give financially to gifted, intelligent students who don’t have the resources to continue their education.
