Empowering Communities - Saving Lives
The H.E.A.T. Foundation – Health, Education, Agriculture and Technology is a non-governmental organization established to provide humanitarian services to the general public both domestically and internationally. It is a grass root organization that is founded on the philosophy that donor contributions should have a direct measurable impact on the communities they support. The organization is a legal entity and is also registered with the Haitian Government, in addition to the William Clinton Foundation – Haiti Civil Society Organization (CSO).
The H.E.A.T. Foundation in collaboration with Le Lycee Franco-Americain International School (LFA) was one of the first responders to Haiti’s crisis, dealing with collapsed orphanages and schools, evacuating children and displaced families to safer areas. The H.E.A.T. Foundation is also distributing food, supplies and medical care to some of the most unfortunates in the region.
The Board of Directors of The H.E.A.T. Foundation wants to assure the public that we are not new to Haiti. The Founder of The H.E.A.T. Foundation, Ghislaine de Sanon, (pictured below) is an American-trained Registered Professional Nurse who partly grew up in Haiti. She has worked and has very 
strong relationships with many of the local and international humanitarian organizations in Haiti and in other countries. Her teams of volunteers have been in Haiti during floods, hurricanes and even during political instability. As recently as November 2009, she returned to the United States with such enthusiasm about the progress in Haiti. “Things just seem so hopeful” was her sentiment, as she applauded Conde Nast Traveler (September 2009 issue) for their positive coverage of Haiti: click on title "LoveHaiti" for link to the article.
No time for Tears, We're Moving FORWARD!
The H.E.A.T. Foundation views this crisis as an opportunity to help build and empower communities that will be stronger than ever before. The goal is to connect people to resources globally, through projects in Health, Education, Agriculture and Technology.
The most immediate needs are to give children and families the much needed support to move forward with life. The H.E.A.T. Foundation has organized with local schools in Thomonde, Plateau Central, to enroll children displaced by the earthquake. The H.E.A.T. Foundation has also implemented procedures to identify bonafide orphans and children separated from families, also to provide temporary shelter, food and medical care.
