Our Story
The roots of Louisiana Reach Haiti began in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010. Volunteers from Louisiana Baptists Disaster Relief were the first recovery team on the ground, providing essential aid through food distribution, medical clinics, and rebuilding efforts. Over the years, connections with the resilient Haitian people inspired the establishment of a nonprofit organization in 2017, founded by Dr. Wayne Sheppard, Ray Swift, James Gardner, and Darrin Badon.
