Our community

The Barbancourt Foundation is rooted in promoting Haitian heritage through sustainable practices and partnerships that prioritize the environment and community development. It works alongside Haitians to constantly promote and preserve their culture and history, thus contributing to the strengthening of national identity.

Promoting our heritage and strengthening our communities

The Barbancourt community comprises residents of the areas surrounding the distillery, along with their families and loved ones. To enhance their well-being, a range of programs and initiatives have been implemented within the community. These efforts primarily focus on women, young people, and children from Blanchard, Larousse, and Damien.
