Our Mission is to progress rural Haitian communities living in poverty

Welcome to the LiLa Foundation for Health and Education
Incorporated in 2010 by Alain Pompilus, Jeanine Midy, and Jacqueline Pompilus; LiLa Foundation has held a strong contributive presence in the town of Arcahaie for nearly a decade prior to its official founding.

The LiLa Foundation was created to serve the health and education needs of the Haitian people. Our approach improves and promotes wellness of the community by providing medication, health examinations, health awareness, and elementary education to poverty stricken communities. These efforts combat the immediate crisis caused by the lack of adequate health care and poor nutrition, as well as address the demands of the future by educating the youth in the community.
LiLa Foundation programs have been providing a significant impact on the lives of a number of impoverished areas within Haiti. We have been successful in partnering with a number of organizations nationally whose objectives are aligned with our own.
The devastating earthquake in January 2010 profoundly impacted the LiLa Foundation's scope, requiring a significantly greater level of support and resources. LiLa Foundation intends to provide continued relief to Haitian victims adversely affected by this tragedy.
Who We Are
Non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt entity consisting of health, business, and education professionals committed to improving the conditions of deprived communities.
What We Do
LiLa Foundation executes humanitarian initiatives to uplift the quality of life within divested regions.

President's Message
A message from Kaleena Francois, Health Administration Manager LiLa Foundation
The Health program of the LiLa Foundation for Health and Education is undergoing some exciting growth. This year our focus is expanding our Health program to reach more people in rural areas of Haiti. With increased awareness and participation through volunteerism, we stand to have significant impact on the Haitian community, both internationally and locally. Below you will find some of the most recent updates from our program.
UCF’s APPA supply drive April 2012
As a foundation, we truly believe that it takes partnerships with others of similar objectives that will help improve our reach and effectiveness to impact and ultimately change people’s lives for the better. We have found such partnership with the Association of Pre-Physician Assistants at the University of Central Florida. They have gotten together to host a supply drive on our behalf. If you are in the Orlando area and have resources that could potentially be beneficial for our health program, please contact the project leader, Lian Szeto at appa.historian@gmail.com.

7th Annual Foire De Sante May 15-22, 2012
This health summit has been promoting wellness by administering medications, conducting health examinations, and raising awareness for over five years now! Each year we see increased need. For this reason, the foundation has worked hard on developing a solid group of team leaders and volunteers. We have increased our practice location to four sites in Arcahaie, Léogâne, and Jean Dumas to service the projected 1500 patients that are lacking adequate health care. We know our goal is ambitious, but it is our mission to serve those neglected and dejected. If you would like to help out in any fashion, please let us know!
