The LAMP for Haiti is an apolitical, nonsectarian humanitarian organization, founded in 2006 by Thomas Griffin, Esq. and James Morgan, MD. This nongovernmental organization (NGO) was begun to redress the consequences of unmitigated poverty so starkly evident in the Haitian urban setting, in particular in the slum of Cite Soleil, located adjacent to the national airport in the country’s capitol, Port-au-Prince. While the average person in Haiti lives on about one US dollar per day, the Cite Soleil resident barely gets by on a fraction of this amount. It is estimated that about 300,000 people reside in that particular slum (roughly one-tenth of the population of the capitol itself).
The Lamp Foundation is a not for profit corporation whose mission is to work together with the people of Haiti, to advocate for the respect and protection of basic human rights in the areas of greatest misery and poverty in the capital city of Port-Au-Prince. In pursuit of this mission, the Lamp provides basic health care, investigates allegations of human right abuses, and provides educational and humanitarian aid. The Lamp does not support or oppose any government or political system. We are solely concerned with the impartial protection of all basic human rights.
The Lamp for Haiti is a federally recognized 501(c) 3 charitable organization qualified to receive tax-deductible contributions. Your donation to the Lamp is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. EIN#13-4336539
