About us
Empowering Haitian Communities Through Collective Action
In 2014, sisters Sophonie and Marie founded HASCE with a vision to transform lives and communities. Born in Haiti and having migrated to the United States as teenagers, Sophonie and Marie have always remained deeply connected to their roots. Their journey of community involvement began in their new home, where they actively participated in church activities and various mission trips.
A Lifelong Commitment to Service
Through their involvement in numerous volunteering opportunities, Sophonie and Marie developed a profound understanding of the world and a strong desire to make a difference. These experiences shaped their perspective and reinforced the importance of community over individualism.
Creating a Platform for Change
Determined to create lasting impact, the sisters established HASCE as a platform to help Haitian students engage with their communities. Their goal was to shift the mindset from an individualized view to one focused on collective action and community building.
Our Mission
HASCE’s mission is to empower Haitian youth, both in the US and abroad, to get involved and create the communities they envision. By fostering a sense of unity and collaboration, we aim to inspire individuals to contribute to the greater good and build a brighter future for all.
