8 Years of Commitment: Pierre Marc BAPTISTE Mobilizes for the Cité Soleil Library

On August 29, 2025, Pierre Marc BAPTISTE, a young, committed leader from Belecourt, Cité Soleil, will celebrate eight years of social, educational, and leadership work in his community. On this occasion, he is launching an appeal for donations (money, books, educational materials) to support an ambitious project: the creation of the Duvivier High School Library.

An Inspiring Journey, Born in the Heart of Cité Soleil

Born on August 29, 1996, the eldest of four children, Pierre Marc BAPTISTE grew up in an environment where perseverance and solidarity were essential. A brilliant student at the Becky DeWine Mixed Institution (Lekòl Pè Tòm), he was already helping his classmates pass their exams, while representing his school in various academic competitions.

In 2017, while still in high school, he founded the Literary Club Faisceau Club D’Haïti, a space for sharing knowledge with young people in Belecourt. It was the starting point for a commitment that has never stopped.
