About the Haitian Congress


Founded in 2006

MARIE LYNN TOUSSAINT, ESQ.CHAIR

DR. JOEL AUGUSTINVICE CHAIR

KETLIE ACACIA LUCKETTTREASURER

The Haitian Congress to Fortify Haiti continues to serve the Haitian community here in the states and in Haiti. As we celebrate 12 years of service and activism, we honor we continue to work and collaborate with other organizations to improve the lives of the Haitian people.

HISTORY

In 2004, in the midst of preparations to celebrate two hundred (200) years of Independence, our nation suffered another abrupt unconstitutional change of government. Meanwhile, in November of that same year, Hurricane Jeanne struck our homeland causing the loss of at least 3000 lives, especially in Gonaives. Our Community in Chicago, which had previously been divided along partisan lines, came together to mobilize ourselves, our friends and our allies, formed the Ad Hoc Haitian Relief Fund of Illinois to provide relief for our brothers and sisters in Gonaives.
