SHORT
SUMMARY
My name is Martine
Jadotte and I am the President and CEO for the MJ Foundation, Inc.
MJ Foundation, Inc. is a private
nonprofit organization that will serve children and youth in Haiti.
We will provide a continuum of programs geared to providing food, education, Medical,
housing, and economic development to the orphaned children of Soeur De La
Charity
De Saint Louis, 360 Avenue John Brown-Bourdon, Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. We will
work closely with donors in the states and communities in Haiti.
The mission
of MJ Foundation, Inc. is to provide healthy foods, better education, much needed
medical services, and housing to the orphaned children of Port-au-Prince,
Haiti, with programs that are to help them meet the diverse needs of
individuals pursuing integrity in both their lives and communities. It is our
passion to make a better life for those children. We believe with everyone’s
effort we can make a difference in the lives of the children. We will continue
to persevere until we reach our maximum goals. We know that anything is
possible with the Lord above.
MJ Foundation, Inc. can
only achieve its goals with assistance of generous donations from members of

a donation to our cause. We hope that you will help our efforts.
