Dear Friends,
Penn Ayiti Foundation Inc. (PAF) was established to connect Pennsylvania and Haiti through education, community development, and faith-based values. We believe lasting change happens when compassionate people invest in local solutions that empower children and leaders.
Over the past few years, Penn Ayiti has focused on strengthening education and building partnerships to develop school capacity and improve learning facilities in Haiti. Even in difficult times, we continue to see the fruits of these efforts—children returning to school, stronger communities, and renewed hope for the future.
Thanks to you—our generous supporters and partners—we have:
-
Scheduled over $500,000 in local investment by October 2026 to support education and the local economy
-
Helped children access school through scholarships, uniforms, and supplies
-
Supported the growth of schools and safe learning environments
-
Encouraged community development and youth empowerment initiatives
-
Strengthened families through faith-based outreach and encouragement
-
Connected Pennsylvania partners with meaningful impact opportunities in Haiti
Building communities takes patience, vision, and commitment. It may not always be the fastest work, but it is the kind of work that transforms generations.
Our mission is simple: to create opportunities where hope can grow, education can flourish, and faith can inspire action.
PAF was established in 2024 and is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with headquarters in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
We are deeply grateful for every donor, volunteer, church, and partner who walks this journey with us. Together, we are helping build a better future for Haiti.
Thank you for believing with us.

PAF’s logo represents unity, the figures coming together symbolize people from different backgrounds—connecting Pennsylvania and Haiti.
At its core, the logo represents people—students, families, and leaders—rising together to build a better future. It highlights the importance of connection, support, and empowerment in transforming lives and communities.
Today, this symbol stands as PAF’s call to action: to come together, invest in people, and create lasting impact for the next generation.
