Today, we share with you a heartfelt story that has shaped our lives and brought us together on a journey we feel destined to fulfill. From early childhood, we both witnessed the incredible impact that our parents had on our local communities in Haiti. Their dedication to helping others and the profound belief that anything is possible with unity and collaboration left an indelible mark on our young hearts.
Throughout our upbringing, we were instilled with the wisdom of the Haitian Motto: “L’union fait la force” – Unity makes strength. These words resonated deeply within us and served as a guiding principle throughout our lives. We both had aspirations to make a difference and contribute to the well-being of our fellow Haitians. Little did we know that our paths would merge in the most serendipitous way to establish the Andromel Foundation.
This question often highlights two predominant domains: the public and private sectors. With its innovation expertise, the private sector excels in crafting novel products and services. Conversely, the public sector, encompassing governmental bodies, excels in distributing solutions to meet the diverse needs of populations. In numerous instances, the collaborative efforts of these sectors converge to fulfil the requisites of individuals. However, within this convergence lies crevices where specific population segments remain underserved, lacking the essentials for a thriving and wholesome existence.
A pertinent illustration emerges within education, healthcare, and infrastructural possibilities. At present, education and healthcare sectors are operating suboptimally, narrating only a fraction of the complete historical narrative and impeding equitable education for the less fortunate. The accessibility to fundamental healthcare necessities continues to elude a substantial portion of the population, primarily due to the inadequate market demand prevailing in low-income nations. Despite governmental endeavors at interventions, the complexities associated with funding,
collaborative partnerships, and logistical orchestration have proven formidable to synchronise effectively. Regrettably, the upshot has been the tragic loss of innumerable young lives to preventable ailments yearly. It is precisely such challenges that philanthropic endeavors are uniquely positioned to address – challenges that underscore the crux of our foundation’s purpose. Our role is defined by our commitment to surmounting these obstacles, and bringing about transformative changes for the betterment of society.
How do we, then, effectively drive change? What is the specific modus operandi of our foundation? At the core of our approach is the understanding that we must first instigate changes within individuals to alter lives permanently. External circumstances can be forever changed through this internal transformation, leading to sustainable progress and lasting impact.
The foundation’s leadership encompasses a diverse array of backgrounds, representing a rich tapestry of skills and know-how across various domains such as science, technology, medicine, public policy, education, communication, law, and business. These leaders are driven by the foundation’s overarching mission: to forge a global landscape where each individual is empowered to lead a robust and thriving life.
