Uplifting Haitian Youth Through Sports & Education
About Us
The Haitian Sports Foundation (HSF) is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to uplift the children of Haiti through the use of sports activities. Founded in July 2006, it is headquartered in the United States and in Haiti, and provides a range of services, instruction, and training for Haitian youth. Primarily, HSF engages youth through sports activites including soccer, martial arts, basketball, track and field, and volleyball.
Since its founding, HSF has been working with local social organizations to provide assistance to children between the ages of 6 through 17 years old. HSF believes that each child has the potential to succeed if the opportunity is provided to him or her.
HSF children in the Anse-a-Veau, Haiti region where we operate are succeeding in Education, Sports, Arts and Health. As a result, their success has prevented any delinquent or criminal engagement in the past six years of HSF operations
