We are a non profit organization serving as advocates for disadvantaged children in destitute condition living in Haiti. We strive to provide resources that improve their quality of life and contribute to a better future.
The Gigi Foundation was originally founded in 2009 as one woman’s desire to feed, educate and nurse every child in need-one at a time. Before she immigrated to the United States, Gisselene Romulus worked as a preschool teacher, educating and supporting young children in her home country of Haiti. After immigrating to the U.S. she continued to aid those in need as a licensed practical nurse for over 15 Years . Never forgetting her roots and with a heart for children, Gisselene materialized her dream and the Gigi Foundation was born.
Since then, the Gigi Foundation has gracefully grown into a collaborative team of individuals who share the same passion and dedication. Led by the founder, our members and donors’ work to provide greater opportunities for each child to advance and grow into confident contributing citizens.
Today, the mission continues to grow, and the “GIFOAT!” (Gigi Foundation-One at A Time) motto remains our rally cry. We continue to be a resource for 41 underprivileged and underserved children in the impoverished community of BoucanCarre in Mirbalais Haiti.
By providing genuine access to education, health care and nutrition for children in one neighborhood in Haiti, we begin to fulfill our core mission-one community at a time.
