SFHP partners through education, food, healthcare, clean water, sanitation, and economic sustainability. WHO WE ARE
South Florida Haiti Project is coalition of Episcopal Churches, Organizations and Individuals operating as a charitable organization under St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church based in Boca Raton, FL. WHAT WE DO
South Florida Haiti Project partners with the tiny community of Bondeau, Haiti
through education, clean water, food, healthcare, solar power, community sanitation, and economic sustainability projects. We seek to focus on the amazingly resilient people with a vibrant culture of creativity, beauty, and possibility. Most importantly, we believe Haitian voices must be the center of their stories—they have a strong desire to provide for themselves. The Haitian leadership in Bondeau must be the leaders… SFHP is the partner that comes alongside them in their dreams, challenges, and everyday life. When you support the South Florida Haiti Project, you invest in Haitian leaders doing transformative work in education, community development, health, and sustainability. Gregory’s Episcopal Church began its outreach program to Bondeau in 2003. The congregation started by supporting teacher salaries at the local school. Gregory’s and other South Florida Episcopal churches built the new Bon Samaritan Episcopal School, and in the years since it has been expanded to grades pre-K to 13. A daily lunch program for the students was launched in 2008 and has since been expanded to include 40 local families. St. Gregory’s and others added a guest house, called Maison d’Amitie (Friendship House), in 2009 to help facilitate mission trips. In 2010, South Florida Haiti Project was formed to advance St. Gregory’s work in Bondeau and today includes the following South Florida partners: St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Delray Beach, The Chapel of St. Andrew in Boca Raton, St. Andrew’s Schools in Boca Raton, The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Tequesta, The Episcopal Church of the Advent in Palm City, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Palmetto Bay, and others. Significant support also comes from private donors in South Florida and other regions of the U.S., including the Haitian Congregation of the Good Samaritan in New York City. Our major non-profit partners include Food For The Poor and Water for Small Villages.
