In Haitian Kréyol, zanmi means friend and lakay means home. We wanted to choose a name that the kids would relate to and Zanmi Lakay translates to a friend’s home or safe place, and is also used a greeting among old friends.

We have an incredible archive of photographs taken by street children in Haiti from our 19 years of teaching Photography Workshops, and we need help producing products, ideas, and creating exhibitions to share their visual stories with the World.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit grass roots community organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for current and former street children in Haiti through our education, outreach, and photography programs.
