Zanmi Lakay

Zanmi Lakay is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for current and former street children in Haiti by providing educational and economic opportunities and resources to help these children while they are on the streets and to help build a life for them off the streets.

Partnering with organizations, group homes, and orphanages, as well as children that live on the

streets, we collaborate on projects to supplement existing programs, build relationships with local

communities, provide direct support for families through our School Sponsorship Fund and Outreach Programs, and boost creative talents and technical skills through our Photography Workshops that culminate in community events.

Haiti has been plagued by political violence for most of its history. In the context of extreme economic and political instability, the vulnerability of children rises significantly. Through our education and outreach programs, photography workshops, summer camps, computer and business classes, and partnerships our goal is to break the continuing cycle of life on the street for children in Haiti by providing education, training, resources, support, and options for a better and brighter future.
