About Us

Friends of Humanity Corporation (FriendsofHumanity4Haiti.org) was formed in response to the desperate impoverishment of the people of northwest Haiti. Chartered as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization in Miami, Florida, we are completely volunteer-based and utilize all resources to directly assist those in the greatest need. We provide financial and personal assistance to organizations that are already working in northwest Haiti and have demonstrated the ability to transform lives of poverty into lives of human dignity and hope. These include Beraca Medical Center, the only healthcare facility available to the poor, and House of Hope La Pointe, a refuge for disabled, chronically ill, and displaced children. We are not affiliated with any outside organization and welcome help from any who share our concern and compassion for the people of northwest Haiti.

Our History

Friend of Humanity owes its beginning to its beginning to the generous help and assistance of Miami Shores Presbyterian Church and members who are native of northwest Haiti. The church invited the participation of other organizations, including Central Presbyterian Church of Miami, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Extreme Response International, and Change this World. The support of these organizations is very much appreciated.

Mission Statement

The aim of Friends of Humanity Corporation (a.k.a, FriendsofHumanity4Haiti.org) is to support the needy of the region of northwest Haiti. By providing ongoing clean running water, sanitation, education, food, clothing, and physical facility improvement, Friends of Humanity Corporation works to provide financial as well as physical support to hospitals and orphanages of the region.
