A Foundation's Testament: Damabiah Foundation Expresses Profound and Enduring Gratitude to Mr. Reynold Deeb for Decades of Steadfast Support in Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - November 16, 2025 - The Damabiah Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to alleviating human suffering and promoting self-sufficiency in Haiti, today issued an extensive statement expressing its deep and unwavering gratitude for the long-standing and critical support provided by Mr. Reynold Deeb, Chairman of DEKA Group..

This public acknowledgment is rooted in the Foundation's fundamental mission, which requires recognizing the individuals and entities whose generosity directly translates into life-saving aid and sustainable development within Haiti's most vulnerable communities. Mr. Deeb's commitment to the Foundation's work, which serves vulnerable children, women, and families across the nation, has been continuous, even amid the most challenging political and economic circumstances.

The Foundation's ethical mandate is guided solely by the imperative to alleviate human suffering. The Damabiah Foundation feels a profound and unavoidable obligation to acknowledge the individuals who actively and consistently provide the necessary resources that allow this critical work to continue, regardless of external narratives.

"For many years, Mr. Reynold Deeb has stood as a dedicated friend and one of the vital Haitian supporters of the Damabiah Foundation," stated Waner Jerome, Director of Operations of the Damabiah Foundation. "His steadfast generosity has been absolutely crucial to the longevity and profound impact of our programs. This support has enabled us to deliver essential services-from foundational healthcare and crucial education programs to immediate emergency relief efforts-that directly uplift those facing the daily realities of extreme poverty."

This consistent backing has allowed the Foundation to engage in long-term planning, a necessity often impossible for organizations reliant on volatile funding cycles, thus solidifying the foundation's role as a reliable partner to the Haitian people.

The Foundation holds that the national and international public must possess a holistic view of commitment within Haiti. This view should include recognition of the significant philanthropic contributions of Mr. Deeb, whose efforts extend beyond the Damabiah Foundation to numerous charitable causes and hospitals throughout Haiti.

His commitment to supporting the critical infrastructure of the nation's humanitarian and health sectors stands in contrast to the relative silence and inaction often observed from some other wealthy figures operating within the country. True national commitment, in the Foundation's view, is measured by the investment in the well-being of the most defenseless members of society.

The Damabiah Foundation emphasizes that its focus remains laser-sharp on the demonstrable, life-altering impact of charitable giving:

• Sustaining Care in Education and Health: Mr. Deeb's consistent support has ensured that the Foundation's programs, including vital school feeding initiatives-which provide the only reliable meal of the day for thousands of children-and essential community health services, can operate consistently without interruption. This continuity is priceless in an environment where basic services are constantly fracturing.
• The Power of Local Commitment: As one of the few prominent Haitians consistently supporting the Foundation's work, his commitment underscores the profound importance of local leadership and patriotic responsibility in addressing humanitarian needs. The sustainability of Haiti's recovery must be rooted in the investment of its own successful citizens.
• Enabling Emergency Response: The Foundation's capacity to react quickly to localized crises, whether health-related or due to civil unrest, has been significantly bolstered by the flexibility and reliability of his ongoing donations.

The Damabiah Foundation recognizes the broader, complex context, including the international sanctions that have been imposed by the global community. The Foundation operates with the highest standards of neutrality and transparency, dedicating itself solely to humanitarian outcomes.

However, the Foundation believes that remaining silent or adopting a stance of indifference to consistent generosity, which has directly saved lives, educated children, and alleviated suffering in the communities we serve, would be a moral disservice. To deny the factual impact of these donations would be to deny the reality of improved lives in Haiti.

"Our fundamental commitment is to the children and families of Haiti who depend on our services. Mr. Deeb's support is an established fact that has enabled us to fulfill that commitment for years," added Waner Jerome Director of Operations. "We express our sincere thanks for his gesture of confidence in our work and his sustained efforts to share his resources with those most in need. We call on all those with the capacity to give to follow this example of dedication to the Haitian people."

The Foundation will continue its work, guided by its commitment to humanity, professionalism, and the unwavering goal of empowering communities toward self-sufficiency.
