Mission statement:	LIDE exists in order to build capacity and create sustainable resources of resiliency strengthening, informal education, and life skills for at-risk adolescent girls. LIDE’s work is primarily in rural or remote communities of Haiti, with some international assistance in capacity building around Education in Emergencies. LIDE believes in capacity building from within. This means giving opportunities for growth and service to those who best understand the needs of a country — that county’s citizens. Therefore, a primary purpose for the organization is to provide training and accompaniment in developing the capacity for communities to sustain programs, as well as opportunities for members of a community to use their talents in order to serve their youth.
Year established:	2014
Year of registration:	2015
Organizational structure:	Lidè Foundation (LIDE) has a USA based Board of Directors as well as a Haiti based Board of Directors which serves the projects in Haiti. LIDE also has a Youth Advisory committee made of representatives from its programs for adolescent girls. Its Executive Director is based in Haiti but works beyond that country and region on behalf of the organization. Lidè's leadership team in Haiti includes the E.D., a deputy in-country direction, Education Coordinator, Logistics Manager, and Office Administrator, as well as additional program coordinators. All of these role also serve in project/field work. However, inputs for decision making filter upward and laterally, as needs and ideas come from the Youth committee, facilitators, coordinators as much as from those in programmatic leadership positions. Priorities observed by those in field carry great weight in decision making.
Number and type of members:	6 Board Members — USA 6 Board Members — Haiti 4 Advisory Board Members (Haiti and USA combined)
