Our Story

Was founded in February 1982 by Jean Th. Lindor, a native of Cavaillon. Haiti. For Jean, also known as St. Jean. the vision was simply a desire to create a better environment through several development programs for the less fortunate. Jean conducted several trainings in the areas of Education, Health, Arts and Crafts, Sports, and Social Activities. In 1998, Jean provided power of attorney to daughter Marie Flore Lindor Latortue, to continue his dream. AEDAP® is composed of professionals, clinicians, priests, pastors, youth groups, organizations, and any individual who think BIG; we mean individuals with a passion to serve BIG (Build, Inspire, Giveback).
