Haitian Education Project,Inc.

Description

The Haitian Education Project (HEP), Inc., is the dream of a Haitian Saint Leo University graduate who always wanted to make a difference in his community. Through his hard work and inspiration, Saint Leo students, professors and administration joined forces with him to create the HEP organization.

We are a Florida based not-for-profit corporation incorporated in 2003 to help create educational and economic development for the Haitian people. We believe that empowering people to become self-sufficient is the key to reduce poverty and achieve community development.

We support the children of Haiti by providing them with school supplies, computers, and other necessary materials. We are also working on establishing a network of libraries in Haiti to give to local communities access to books, Internet, and other necessary resources. Our long term goal is to work with local communities to help set up community centers that will serve as catalysts to social and economic development.
