About
The Anne M. Daphnis-Francois Vision, INC. foundation was lovingly established in February 2020 to honor the life, legacy, and unwavering spirit of Anne M. Daphnis, the beloved matriarch of the Francois family. Her life was a testament to compassion, perseverance, and a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of education.
Though Anne was unable to complete her own formal education, she never allowed that missed opportunity to define her future—or the future of those around her. Instead, she used her life to uplift others, passionately encouraging her children, grandchildren, and the youth in her community to dream bigger, reach higher, and never stop learning.
This foundation was born from that same passion. In her name, we carry forward her vision by sponsoring underprivileged children in Haiti who otherwise have little or no access to education. We provide funding for tuition, school supplies, and the support they need to open doors that might otherwise remain closed.
Through each child we reach, we honor Anne’s dream—a dream where every young mind has the opportunity to grow, to hope, and to build a brighter future.

Ismarily
Born in Croix Des bouquets on October
5, 2011
He is the 4th child of his family. His mother and father are very poor. His father worked in landscaping but has recently become unemployed. His mother is a retail coal merchant. The profit from what she sells is not enough to send the children to school and feed them and they dont have a place to stay. That is why our foundation chose to fund Ismarily's education.
Anie
Anie Esther was born in 2014 in the Santo Town of Croix-des-Bouquets, Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
She never saw her mother's face because she was abandoned by her mother a couple of days after her birth. Her mother put the baby in a box, placed her at the father's entrance, and ran away. Her and the child's father did not live together. The father took the child but was unable to take care of her. He gave her to someone else for adoption. That person could not do much either but put her in school. However, she couldn't continue paying her school fees. That is why we choose to help continue with her schooling through the Anne Merese F. Daphnis Foundation.
Shedeline
Chedelie was born on November 7, 2014, in Hainault, a rural section of Chambellan in Jérémie, located in the Grand’Anse department of Haiti.
She is the third child in a family of four. Her parents are farmers who live in Hainault but are now separated. Sadly, her father abandoned the family, leaving her mother to care for all four children alone, with no financial support.
Her mother has struggled to provide for them and was only able to send two of the children to school—Chedelie being one of them. Unfortunately, due to her difficult economic situation, she could not afford to continue paying for Chedelie’s education.
Someone offered to help, but for that, her mother had to send Chedelie to Port-au-Prince. Since last year, she has been living there. However, instead of supporting her education, the person mistreated her and did not send her to school. When her mother discovered this, she arranged for Chedelie to live with someone else, but that person also could not afford to send her to school.
There were even plans to send her back to the countryside. Thankfully, someone told us about her situation and how intelligent she is. That is why we decided to help Chedelie continue her education with the support of our foundation.
