About Us

The Fond Doux Foundation is a 501(C)3 Corporation.  It was founded by members of Epworth United Methodist Church, Durham, NC in co-ordination with some members of Unity Church, Cary, NC and Swansboro United Methodist Church, Swansboro, NC following visits from members of these Churches to Fond Doux, Haiti in 2010 and 2011.  The Foundation was incorporated on April 12, 2012.  The Foundation was developed with the hope of expanding the efforts beyond the resources of one church and to open up the possibility of collaboration with other churches, individuals and other institutions and groups.  You are expressly invited to bring your voices, resources and expertise to enhance the lives of the people of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and especially the villagers in and near Fond Doux, Haiti.

Helping people, changing lives.

Serving God by helping the people of Fond Doux and neighboring communities to achieve a better life.

Mission Partners:

The Foundation’s first Haitian partner was the Primitive Church of Platon and later its Fond Doux Foundation Advisory Committee. It has since created additional partnerships with the Methodist Church of Fond Doux, The Wesleyenne Church of Fond Doux (to operate a clinic), the Good Samaritan School of Platon and the School for Tomorrow in Ravine Parc (to operate an English Club).
