The GB GROUP has joined forces with other reputable Haitian business men and women  in support of President Michel Martelly’s and the Haitian Government’s interests and visions in support of education to form Fondation Appui à l’Education (FAE).

FAE is founded by 3 Haitian entrepreneurs who grew up in Haiti and want to give back to their country by supporting education. They want to give Haiti’s children a better environment to learn in as they themselves were very fortunate to have benefited from safe, clean and academically excellent private schools in Haiti. “All children have the right to learn in a good environment” share Marc Antoine Acra, Reuven Bigio and Serge Coles.

The Fondation Appui à l’Education is a non-profit organization seeking to promote education in Haiti at all levels (primary to superior) including professional training. These noble actions will give birth to an open, fair and empathic Haitian society aiming for progress and sustainable development.

FAE is quickly moving forward with a new site (www.faehaiti.org – which can already receive donations) as well as tangible projects underway like Ecole Union des Apotres. Ecole Union des Apotres is located in La Reference which is one of the 34 streets/villages in Cite Soleil, Port- au- Prince Haiti; the poorest neighborhood in the Western Hemisphere. FAE will focus its renovation efforts on the Kindergarten that currently has 78 students and will employ community locals to renovate the school.
