About Us
We are a small group of volunteers who have formed a not-for-profit organisation which is listed as a charity for tax purposes by HM Revenue & Customs (UK). Like so many other people around the world we were deeply saddened by the earthquake that devastated Haition January 12, 2010.
Clarity
As the aftermath of the earthquake unfolded, it became clear that the situation on the ground for the Haitian people was far worse than any of us could have possibly imagined.
Action
This tragedy compelled us to act, not just by simply donating in the short term but by building something which will be more substantive in the long term. This brought us together as a collective which resulted in the formation of the non profit organisation "Friends of Fondation Félicité."
Support
Friends of Fondation Félicité has been set up to directly support Fondation Marie Claire Heureuse Félicité Bonheur Dessalines (FF) in Haiti. FF has been working on the ground in Haiti for over 11 years in the areas of humanitarian, social and educational work to aid the people of Haiti.
A Big Thanks
We take great pride in assuring you that we support and work directly with a community based charity on the ground in Haiti.

"My country is a very rich country. We are rich because we are extremely creative people. We have an inner force and we can rise from any situation.
What we need more than anything is that those who want to help, do help us without asking us to down our dignity. We are grateful, we know that everyone who gives become richer. We thank you for wanting to help us, especially the young people because, they have to handle tomorrow. We are grateful to all those who will contribute. We are very very grateful."
Our Vision and Purpose
We are always looking out for ways in which we can help the disadvantaged, see our latest campaign, and if you can help please contact us for further details.

Helping Haitians Build A Stronger Foundation
WE ARE YOUR FUTURE
After the mass devastation that the beautiful people of Haiti have endured I felt compelled to do what I can to help in some way. Through Friends of Fondation Félicité, I am able to contribute monies on a regular, consistent and long term basis to help in the rebuilding of Haiti.
WE ARE YOUR FUTURE
My hope is that all the donations will add up to a significant help for the People of Haiti; therefore I give to make up that significant difference to change despair in to hope.
WE ARE YOUR FUTURE
I have chosen to support Fondation Félicité (FF) in Haiti via Friends of Fondation Félicité (UK) for two linked and equally important reasons. Firstly my researches show that at the root and heart of their motivation is passionate belief and love, not the pity and patronage that is at the heart of many charitable endeavours. Secondly I have been able to stipulate that my donation is used to assist FF in their work to continue educating Haitians.
