Our
Leadership

We believe in Haitian leadership and Haitian vision, investing in locally-led programs and community-based work. The South Florida Haiti Project’s US-based team has spent the past 17 years building relationships with dynamic, devoted and talented community leaders in the community of Bondeau. Our role is to continue strengthening these relationships and continue the journey together towards a brighter future .
