Meet the Changemaker Dedicated to Empowering Generations
Smart. Fierce. Compassionate.
At Angels for Humanity, we believe that compassion without action is not enough. For nearly two decades, we’ve delivered thousands of backpacks, hosted hundreds of medical missions, and brought hope to children across Haiti and Latin America. But true transformation requires more than charity—it demands long-term investment in education, mentorship, and opportunity.
Too many girls in rural Haiti still face early dropout, child marriage, and gender-based violence—trapped in generational poverty not because of lack of potential, but because of a lack of access. We’ve seen firsthand that unless a child—particularly a girl—is supported to stay in school, the cycle continues. It’s like mopping up the floor while the sink is still overflowing
Transforming the World, One Child at a Time
That’s why Angels for Humanity is launching The Girl Power Project—an initiative rooted in education, empowerment, and safety for young girls in rural Haiti. Through this project, we aim to give girls the tools, support, and confidence they need to stay in school, delay early marriage, and unlock their leadership potential.
This isn’t just a program—it’s the beginning of a movement. With the support of our global community and local Haitian leaders, we are planting the seeds of sustainable change. Because when you invest in a girl, you uplift an entire family, and eventually, an entire nation.
Our vision is bold: to create lasting improvements in education, health, and economic stability by empowering vulnerable children to reach their full potential.
Every child needs an angel. And with your support, we can close the divide and build a future where every girl has the opportunity to shine.
Haiti is home to 11 million people, with children making up 54% of the population. Sadly, 64.3% of boys and 57.3% of girls are unable to read or write. Our organization believes that quality education is the fundamental right of every child, and we are committed to changing these disheartening numbers. Indeed, Haiti can feel like a place of overwhelming need.
Literacy rates in Haiti remain around 50%, which is significantly lower than the 90% literacy rate for Latin American and Caribbean countries (Library of Congress, 2006). The 2010 earthquake devastated a large percentage of the small number of primary and secondary schools in Haiti. Combined with the lack of resources and poor infrastructure, this has placed Haiti in a critical situation, and there is a desperate need for school facilities and education.
The people of Haiti fight for survival every day. More than half the population of Haiti struggles to survive on less than one US dollar per day, which is the absolute poverty line (World Bank, 2016). 450 children are affected every day.
A livelihood study conducted in 2016 showed that “many families are forced to sell livestock, their principal form of savings or assets, to finance the beginning of the school year” (World Bank Study, 2016). Despite the educational reforms of the early 1990s when an effort was made to make education more accessible and relevant to the poor, education has remained vastly unattainable for the general population. Furthermore, where it is possible for children to attend school, the quality is alarmingly low and inconsistent.
Haiti’s under-5 mortality rate is approximately 55 deaths per 1,000 live births—compared to about 37 globally—leading to roughly 14,233 deaths annually in this age group.
Infant mortality (under age 1) stands at about 40 per 1,000 live births.
Neonatal mortality (first 28 days) is around 23 per 1,000 live births

Judith Joseph
Founder & CEO, Angels for Humanity
Judith Joseph is a visionary humanitarian, event strategist, and the driving force behind Angels for Humanity. For nearly two decades, she has dedicated her life to uplifting underserved children through education, healthcare, and dignity—both in South Florida and in some of the most impoverished communities across Haiti and Latin America.
With a background in hospitality and public relations, Judith began her journey with a single mission: to bring joy to children who had been forgotten. What started as a local toy drive has blossomed into a global movement, impacting over 10,000 children annually through Angels for Humanity’s medical missions, school sponsorships, holiday distributions, and community outreach programs.

Born in Haiti and raised with a deep sense of purpose, Judith never forgot where she came from. Her leadership is hands-on—whether she’s personally delivering school supplies to remote villages in Cap-Haïtien or leading volunteers on international medical missions. In 2025, her lifelong vision of building a school was put on hold due to the ongoing instability in the country. But Judith is not giving up—she strongly believes that very soon this dream will culminate in the opening of a new school in rural Haiti, providing education, meals, and opportunity to hundreds of children.
Judith’s work has been recognized by many philanthropic and civic leaders, yet she remains focused not on accolades, but on outcomes. Her life’s work is rooted in a simple belief: “It’s okay to choose not to give—but it’s never okay to take what belongs to the children.”
When she’s not leading humanitarian missions, Judith lends her talents as an international event planner, bringing the same level of elegance and purpose to her charity events as she does to her global projects. Her signature fundraisers—Catwalk for Charity and Tea for a Cause—blend fashion, culture, and compassion, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support children in need.
In their eyes, I found my purpose. In their dreams, I found my mission.
