Robert Joseph was born in Fontaine-Pignon to Joseph Fradel and Presume Rostha. He is 30 years old and the second of four siblings—two boys and two girls.

Robert began his primary education at Fontaine School (Three Bears & Me), one of the nine schools operated by the Comité Bienfaisance de Pignon (CBP). After completing his primary studies, he went on to attend Collège Sainte Gabriel, also located in Fontaine.

He later joined the HASP program and enrolled at the Université Chrétienne de la Communauté de Caïman (UCCC) in Bohoc-Pignon.

After four years of dedicated study, Robert graduated in December 2024 with a degree in laboratory technology.  Currently, he is volunteering at the Pignon Hospital, gaining hands-on experience in his field. For his graduation, Robert Joseph chose Ronald Metelus, superintendent of the Comite Bienfaisance de Pignon Schools, to be his godfather.

HASP (Haiti Advanced Scholarship Program) empowers promising students from Pignon by providing full scholarships to attend university and pursue careers in medicine, nursing, and lab technology. These students are carefully selected through our trusted local partner, Comité Bienfaisance.

In return for the scholarship, graduates commit to working at the local hospital for two years—bringing their education full circle and directly strengthening the community’s healthcare system. This model not only lifts bright, hardworking individuals out of poverty but also ensures long-term benefits for the region.

Each scholarship costs $6,000 per student. If you feel inspired to invest in a student’s future and the health of an entire community, please consider donating.
