Fodep in brief

             Denis Puthiot, French volunteer, who entered Haiti on January 7, 1982, is at the origin of numerous educational, health and development actions in favor of the Haitian population and children in particular. These actions have enabled tens of thousands of young Haitians, girls and boys, from disadvantaged backgrounds, to return to active life and found a home, in Haiti or abroad, without sinking into the cycle of juvenile delinquency. The actions continue with the Saint-Alphonse schools in Cité Soleil and Fourgy.

​

               On the strength of these experiences acquired in nearly four decades with his many Haitian collaborators, a foundation, the Denis Puthiot Foundation or FODEP, was set up in order to continue and expand these actions in favor of the population and children of Haiti. , in particular, by a motivated Haitian team.

​
