who we are

OUR HISTORY

In 1999, four former students of Collège Regina Assumpta (CRA), Marguerite Esther Chevalier-Mompremier, Grace César Achille, Réséda Célestin and Geneviève Casseus, got together in Florida and created the “Fédération des Anciens de Regina Assumpta (FARA)”.

They launched a crusade to reinforce the school’s mission, which is providing to others the same opportunities they had. Year after year, they devoted endless time to motivate people in their communities to join their noble cause through their fundraising events.

Thanks to the talent and business skills of our member Mrs. Linda Cesar, FARA was legally registered as a 501(c)(3) in the state of Florida.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to organize fundraising events and secure sponsorships and donations to support the educational needs of Collège Regina Assumpta’s students, as well as other students in Haiti and Florida, empowering them with greater opportunities for academic success.

VISION STATEMENT

FARA’s goal is to become one of the best non-profit organizations to foster educational support in Haiti and abroad.
