Haiti Providence University was founded in October 2011 - a Christian liberal arts unviersity located 30 miles east of Port au Prince, Haiti. Our FRIENDS OF HAITI PROVIDENCE UNIVERSITY organization was formed January 2015 to support the growth efforts of the university and provide financial support to its students.
Our Mission
Fundraising & Financial Support
Our 501(c)3 non-profit USA organization is structured to provide a means for individuals, companies, and other organizations to donate to the Haiti Providence University and its projects in Haiti. 100% of your donation will go to the university and remains specific to the purpose you intend.
Funding is continuously needed to support building construction and student scholarships.
Grants & Network Development
Friends of Haiti Providence University (HPU Friends) seeks funding from organizations throughout the USA that support the mission and purposes of Haiti Providence University. A liberal arts college outside of Port au Prince, the university has undergraduate and graduate programs in nursing, education, business, and theology. New academic programs are now being formed in agriculture, civil engineering, and building construction.
Technical Planning Assistance
Since 2008, engineers in Rochester, N.Y., have been assisting HPU Friends with land planning and building design and construction. Since the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, our engineers have been providing technical support to Haitian engineers, building safe and earthquake-resistant structures.
A Message from HPU
Provost of the university, and a founding member of HPU Friends, Jean Marc Zamor is using his background and experience as an educator and Free Methodist pastor to build and oversee the growth of Haiti Providence University and its 100 full-time students.
