Today we’d like to introduce you to James Cinada.
Hi James, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my nonprofit organization 5 years and the motive was to help as many children that I can back home in Haiti. I started by doing Facebook and posting on Instagram. The first year we helped 500 children with school supplies and shoes. The second our organization partnered with Crocs and they donated 17.000 pair of crocs to our organization Lagonave Noukapab to distribute throughout Haiti and we have done that. I believe what made us successful one is honesty, we are trustworthy and consistency. In addition all the event we have done in Haiti I attend all of them so I know what is going on and be able to witness it all and report back to our donors. So we collect school supplies and shoes every year for our children in Haiti and also monetary donation as well for our tuition program. Donation can be sent by: Zelle: 4076174827 and cashapp $LGNK , or check can be made to Lagonave Noukapab Inc and call 407-617-4827 for address or pick up
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
As far as getting school supplies from our donors was easy because I was promoting everyday on Facebook and Instagram. We got a lot of donations from individuals. The challenges that we face is the financial part of it. We have not received a large donation from any entity as we plan to do a lot of great things in Haiti. We have plan to build a basketball court for our children to come play and have fun, also wants to add play a ground there as well. The most challenges we face so is the risk of going to Haiti at all time due to insecurity. We go to Haiti 3 times a year to bring supplies and shoes, pay school for a lot of children and a lot of time there is a lot of insecurity going on, protest, etc and we still went, very risky but we commit and stick with the plan so far God has been good and protect us through it all so very happy for that.
As you know, we’re big fans of Lagonave Noukapab . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Lagonave Noukapab is nonprofit organization. Our mission is to help a thousand of children In Haiti every year with school supplies, shoes, and free tuition. For the last 5 years we have been a great asset to the children and families in Haiti with the amount of support they receive from our organization. I believe what set us apart from any other organization that does ground work in Haiti is the transparency, honesty, and trustworthy. So far in 5 years, we keep our word, done the work and we will continue to do so. We are very proud of the accomplishments. We have done a lot great work in Haiti, also our organization has been recognized on big stage. We received 4 humanitarian award in 5 years that tells you that you are doing something great and people are watching. We were recognized in the city of Miami by PHMA prestige award show for all the Haitians artist on the HMI that was huge. I would like to connect with more individuals who would to like to do great things in Haiti as we all know they need it badly, desperately. Our Instagram page is Lagonave Noukapab and Facebook is lagonave NoukapabNation. Take a look there and see all the events we have done in Haiti. I can be reach as well by phone 4076174827.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
The goal for the next 5 years is to grow as an organization and build a school in Haiti for our children to have access to education and tools to help them succeed academically.
