Le Flambeau Foundation works to provide educational opportunities for talented youth in Haiti, with the vision of further developing the intellectual infrastructure of Haiti.
Through various initiatives Le Flambeau Foundation works towards providing access to preparatory English language programing, funding scholarships for higher education, and enabling shorter-term upskilling; all designed to foster circular sustainable in-country professions and job creation for talented youth in Haiti. This is key when you consider that among students completing high school in Haiti, less than 1% are able to access college or other post-secondary school education.
Le Flambeau Foundation programming is focused on Haiti’s core growth engines – AGRICULTURE, TECHNOLOGY and BUSINESS. Upon completion, youth scholars make a commitment to extend themselves to other youth in Haiti, working on initiatives that will pass the torch and continue to contribute to the economic rebuilding of Haiti.
