Fondaps Haiti

We fight every day, in the most turbulent of times, to be role models for our kids. We continue to ensure our kids can play soccer safely on a weekly basis.

Our founder, Patrice Millet, helped to train 3 current World Cup players, helped to mentor many players over the span of 19 years. Over the next few months, thru his videos, he hopes you will understand the tremendous value in soccer for children, especially those in traumatic situations and the encouragement it provides when daily life seems unsure. @lionelmessi

Fondaps is STILL HERE & needing support! 2025 held many challenges, but 2026 is a year of possibilities for the Haitian Mens Team, the Haitian Womens Team and all the children practicing on the fields in Port au Prince! Please message us if you have any soccer equipment to donate!

#Haiti's remarkable qualification for the 2026 soccer World Cup won't rescue it from the country's gangs - but it reminds us that Haiti undoubtedly IS worth saving from that monstrous evil. My @WLRN commentary.https://t.co/JAc5nuZods

[Organization National Gang Information Awareness @ONGIA]

Amid escalating violence in Haiti, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that nearly half of the gang members dominating the capital are children. Alarmingly, the recruitment of children into these gangs has gone up 70%.

L’inhumain commerce des captifs africains vers les Amériques, en particulier vers Saint-Domingue, demeure l’un des plus grands génocides de l’histoire de l’humanité. Même au XVIIIe siècle, ceux qui soutenaient encore la traite négrière étaient conscients, dans une certaine mesure, que ce commerce violait profondément les principes humains et moraux. La Révolution haïtienne de 1804, en marquant une rupture irréversible dans l’ordre esclavagiste mondial, a allumé la flamme de la LIBERTÉ, une flamme qui a embrasé non seulement Haïti mais aussi le monde entier, en particulier le continent que nous représentons fièrement au sein de l’OEA.

Alors que nous approchons de l’anniversaire de Jean-Jacques Dessalines, son héritage nous rappelle que la lutte pour la justice et la reconnaissance des Afro-descendants est loin d’être achevée. Nous avons le devoir de continuer cette mission, en combattant l’exclusion et en renforçant l’inclusion des Afro-descendants dans les bénéfices du développement durable.

The inhumane trade of African captives to the Americas, particularly to Saint-Domingue, remains one of the greatest genocides in the history of humanity. Even in the 18th century, those who still supported the slave trade were somewhat aware that this commerce profoundly violated human and moral principles. The Haitian Revolution of 1804, by marking an irreversible break in the global slave order, ignited the flame of FREEDOM, a flame that burned not only in Haiti but also across the world, particularly in the continent we proudly represent at the OAS.
As we approach the anniversary of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, his legacy reminds us that the fight for justice and recognition of Afro-descendants is far from over. We have the duty to continue this mission, fighting exclusion and strengthening the inclusion of Afro-descendants in the benefits of sustainable development.

There is a war in the streets which continues in Haiti right now. The gangs have tried to enlist, threaten, entice Haitian youth into their ranks. Soccer provides support, distraction, encouragement &consistency. Used equipment is more vital than ever. @soccerdotcom @SickFootyCleats @esoccershoes @tetrabrazil

[Fondaps Haiti @Fondaps2022]

Our kids are still playing soccer, but our access to equipment, new or used, has completely dried up! Contact us! We will arrange for pick-ups. Soccer gives the children of Haiti hope...this is the most precious commodity.

[Fondaps Haiti @Fondaps2022]

@dulandfoglas @TotalSoccerShow @CaribbeanSoccer Thank you. We are invested heart and soul in our kids.

[Fondaps Haiti @Fondaps2022]

Soccer practice this weekend in Port au Prince!! The kids were able to bring food sacks home to their families. Soccer and Fondaps has been a lifeline for our kids. Please keep us in mind for used equipment. @TotalSoccerShow @CaribbeanSoccer

[Fondaps Haiti @Fondaps2022]

Our kids made it through these last challenging years in Port au Prince! We are intently working on changing the trajectory of this year. Our children need support! Please contact us if you have or are aware of any used soccer cleats or equipment. We can arrange pick-ups in the US. @bstiverne @filipss

[Fondaps Haiti @Fondaps2022]

Bon Fet Pak! Happy Easter! By this time next year I pray my country will be on a new path...the Haitian people deserve this. The children of my country desperately deserve this! What they have witnessed in the last years will never leave their hearts or memories.

[Fondaps Haiti @Fondaps2022]

It is important to see the faces of the children playing soccer last weekend in Port au Prince. This sport provides many things they need especially now: mentorship, continuity and a sense of purpose. Fondaps and other organizations like ours are giving the children the stability they deserve. We have a vital role to play in guiding our youth. @CarterCenter @ussoccer @RFatton @WillGFreeman

A scene from Port au Prince yesterday. Kids must stay kids regardless of the crisis in their world. Many kids came out for practice. We had no food to offer the children, but they came out to be together. @CarterFound @HaitiNewsNet @haitil
