Who We Are

A Church's Call Became a Foundation's Mission

Rooted in the ministry of Eglise Evangelique de la Paix, La Paix Foundation grew from a heartfelt conviction: that the love of God must be demonstrated — not just proclaimed.

Founded by Pastor Elysee Joseph and his wife Yolette Joseph, and now led by Chairwoman Loudrige Simon, we operate in the heart of Cap-Haïtien with boots firmly on the ground. We run a theological institute, a community school for over 120 children, and a center that feeds, shelters, and mentors the most vulnerable among us.

In a Haiti battered by crisis after crisis — earthquakes, political upheaval, food insecurity — we choose to stay. Because hope does not leave.

What We Do

Three Programs. One Purpose.

Every initiative we run answers a specific, urgent need on the ground in Cap-Haïtien — and every one of them needs your support to keep going.

Boots on the Ground

This Is What Real Help Looks Like

While many organizations work from afar, our team lives this every day — preparing hundreds of plates of food, opening classrooms when gangs close roads, and training a new generation of Haitian pastors to lead their communities through crisis.

Over 50,000 meals served. Children who would have grown up on the streets are now reading, writing, and learning the Word of God. Pastors who came to us with a calling are now planting churches across Northern Haiti.

This is your work too — when you give.

Voices from the Field

The Work Speaks

"Every time I visited Cap-Haïtien, I was struck by the children who couldn't afford school, just hanging outside all day. That broke my heart. That's why this school had to exist."

Babak Iranmanesh
School Benefactor & Mission Partner

"In Haiti, where a good education often determines whether a child escapes poverty, our school is more than a classroom. It is a door to a different future — one built on God's Word and human dignity."

Loudrige Simon
Chairwoman, La Paix Foundation

"We have weathered earthquakes, hurricanes, political crises, and a pandemic. Yet every school year, these children come back. Their resilience is the proof that this work must continue."
