A Beacon of Hope in Haiti
Oct. 26, 2022 12:00 p.m.
Saintanne Tipton, Executive Director and CEO, The Lighthouse Before she was adopted and came to Minnesota, Saintanne Tipton was born and raised in a Haitian orphanage. Today she is President and CEO of The Lighthouse, a nonprofit charitable organization that works to provide resources to children in Haiti. Ms. Tipton also works as Assistant Director for Studio 4 Enterprises, a subsidiary management company for the High School for Recording Arts, and serves as Chairperson for Mission Outreach Ministry at Faith Tabernacle Gospel Fellowship International Church. Saintanne holds a degree in Elementary Education and an Associate Degree in Theology. She is a volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and a former member of the Board of Directors of Communities Organizing for Haitian Engagement & Development, (COFHED). Haiti's economic and social development continues to be hindered by ongoing natural disasters including earthquakes and hurricanes, the impact of Covid-19, and political instability which have led to increasing violence and the assassination of Haiti's President, Jovenal Moïse. Communities all over Haiti continue to be impacted at crisis levels by poverty and lack of necessities. Infant and maternal mortality rates remain high and prevention measures are declining, especially for the poorest households. The Lighthouse's mission is to bring about positive change in the lives of at-risk children and families through support services that directly impact their spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing. The Lighthouse has successfully accomplished a number of projects which have provided basic education, teacher funding, nutritious meals, and medical care to families in need. In her talk, Ms. Tipton will share The Lighthouse's many projects and her belief that while Haiti may be the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, hope abounds in this financially strapped, yet determined nation. |
