“The HELP students and graduates who have come to work for Lakou Kajou are engaged self-starters whose professionalism elevates our work. They have a set of skills that go beyond content knowledge: curiosity, problem-solving, autonomy, and a drive to excel. We watch with pride and awe as these young people ask the right questions, provide wise perspective, and seek opportunities for growth.”

Our Changemakers
-
Ronel Lefranc
Co-Founder, ACTIVEH Haiti
“Over 80% of educated Haitian professionals are living abroad, so when you look at Haiti you see a real leadership crisis. We are the citizens of this country, and we are the ones who must take care of it. No one else is going to do it for us.”

Nel-Ange St. Cyr
Administrator, VALPLAST Haiti
"Ever since I was little, I’ve felt a sense of responsibility for Haiti’s environment, which faces so many problems. Every time I walk along the road, all I see is trash, trash everywhere. That's what's motivating me."

Verlanda Alexandre
Safeguarding Officer, Kids Alive International
“My decision to return to my hometown of Cap Haïtien and carry out my psychology work there was not as much a choice as a calling. After completing my training, one day I realized that the place I had come from and the people there needed me and my expertise to help them heal.”
