About

YesImpact is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to providing education advancement, health services, and community development to underprivileged families in Haiti and other parts of the world. YesImpact was founded by Jean Kedler Abelard and registered to obtain its 501(c)(3) status in the United States on August 21, 2015. Afterward, the organization welcomed passionate people with different skills and backgrounds to serve on its board as volunteers during their terms. Given Haiti's social and economic situation, families are struggling to meet the minimum needs of their children. YesImpact wants to be the spokesperson for all its suffering people and wants every child to have the opportunity to attend school with the hope of a better future. Many Haitian children struggle to attend school due to their parents' lack of economic means. YesImpact is very grateful to its donors who offer their support to make a lasting difference in the lives of these children. The organization can only achieve its goals with the help of its committed partners. We are so thankful that a local church (Eglise Chapelle la Trinité de Gaman) rented us a spare room for our first classroom. We remodeled the space to accept our students because we grow every year. However, we want to purchase a piece of land to build an adequate permanent school with more resources and materials to meet the needs of the students and teachers. YesImpact wants to expand the health program through mobile clinics in all ten states in the country. Kedler's vision is to build a modern hospital capable of providing health care services and operating 24/7 to serve every Haitian. You can email him here to help this vision become a reality. Ultimately, the idea for this project came from Kedler, who– thanks to the missionaries of a former NGO named Double Harvest had the opportunity to complete his primary through high school education in a quality school in rural Croix-des-Bouquets. However, his intelligence and wisdom allowed him to benefit from the generosity of some American friends, which made it easier for him to start college in the United States. Nevertheless, Kedler remained connected to his roots; he visited Haiti several times. Attracted by the problem of impoverished children, in 2015, he decided to help the country by starting YesImpact to help children and families in Haiti. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to make this dream a reality to enhance educational opportunities and enrich humanity's culture.
