KONEKTE Princeton Haiti
Introduction
KONEKTE Princeton Haiti is a US-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the educational landscape and improving the lives of children in Haiti, particularly in the Ganthier region. The organization's name, "KONEKTE," is derived from Haitian Creole, meaning "to connect," reflecting its mission of fostering connections between communities to support educational initiatives.
History
Founded in 2012 by educators inspired by the work of Paul Farmer, KONEKTE Princeton Haiti was established following a visit to the Ganthier area after the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake. The founders included Anne Hoppenot and Judy Sarvary, among others, who were moved by the need for educational support in the region.
Mission
The organization focuses on developing and funding educational programs that empower children and adults in Haiti. It works closely with local schools and the community to build the next generation of skilled Haitian men and women. Key initiatives include:
- School Partnerships: KONEKTE partners with schools such as Collège Mixte Marius Carnold and La Référence de Ganthier, providing support through teacher salaries, training, and enriching curriculum programs like art, music, and field trips.
- Teacher Support: The organization funds teacher training seminars to enhance educators' skills, ensuring they can effectively support their students.
- Community Engagement: Beyond educational programs, KONEKTE fosters community ties through cultural activities and construction projects, promoting teamwork and cooperation between the Princeton area and Haitian communities.
- Orphanage Support: KONEKTE sponsors children from the Maison d’Enfants Par La Foi orphanage to attend La Référence, investing in their educational future.
Financial Overview
As a nonprofit, KONEKTE Princeton Haiti relies on contributions to fund its operations. Recent financial data indicates that the organization's revenue primarily comes from donations, with expenses largely allocated to program-specific initiatives in Haiti. Despite operational challenges, the organization has maintained a commitment to educational development and community support.
Impact
KONEKTE's efforts have had impactful results in Haiti, particularly in maintaining educational continuity during times of political unrest and economic hardship. The organization's work symbolizes a commitment to ensuring that every Haitian child has access to quality education, aligning with the broader goal of fostering active citizenship and community development.

As Giving Tuesday approaches, we invite you to join us in making a lasting impact on the people of Haiti. This season of generosity is an incredible opportunity for us to come together and support those who need it most, and Haiti needs our help now more than ever. People in Haiti are suffering: their country in turmoil, their lives uprooted, families torn apart, education suspended. Many live under constant threat of gang violence. Food is scarce. This is the reality of life for many Haitians today. Even in the face of these hardships, the resilience and hope of the Haitian people are inspiring. This Giving Tuesday, we have a chance to stand with them. Your gift can make a world of difference. Every dollar goes directly towards food for displaced families, to costs of uniforms and school supplies for children eager to learn and to teacher salaries at our school CMMC which has been able to open its doors against the odds. When you give this Giving Tuesday, you’re not just making a donation—you’re offering hope, support, and a chance at a better tomorrow for the people of Haiti. Please consider making a gift today to show that they are not alone in this journey. Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and commitment to helping Haiti get through these challenging times. Together, we can make a difference. https://konekteprincetonhaiti.org/donate/ #GivingTuesday #Haiti (fb)
