The Edeyo Team is a group of dedicated business, medical and educational professionals most of whom are of Haitian and/or African descent who all share the same passion to empower Haitian youth.

Unlike most other aid organizations, the Edeyo Foundation is staffed entirely with volunteers, keeping overhead expenses low. This means that 95 cents of every dollar we raise goes directly to helping the children of Haiti.

Our fundraising and organizational operations are based in New York City while the school we support is in Bel-Air, a “red zone” neighborhood in Port-au-Prince – defined by the international NGO community as out of bounds because of security concerns. But children live in Bel-Air and they need education. Providing it has become Edeyo’s core mission.

Susan Blond Inc. is an entertainment / lifestyle publicity + creative services agency based in New York City.
