OUR STAFF
OUR PRODUCTION TEAM
MAAKA
What I like best about my job is making soap. I learned the technique of soap upcycling when I started working at ANACAONA and I am proud to have a new skill I am good at. When I am at home, I spend a lot of time cleaning the house and doing laundry. |
ASMIDE
Participating in World Handwashing Day is always so much fun because I get to distribute to children the soap I make with the production team. I have a son, so when I am home, I spend time helping him do his homework. |
RAYMONDE
My first job at ANACAONA was as a Hygiene Ambassador. I liked working in our partner schools with the children. Now that I work with the production team, I enjoy making liquid soapWhen I am not working, I love watching my favorite TV shows! |
OUR HYGIENE AMBASSADORS

My favorite activity is helping the production team sew Menstrual Hygiene Pads.Sewing is my hobby, so, on weekends, I also like teaching teenage girls living in my neighborhood how to sew. |
CLAUDY
I love working with remote communities in Mirebalais and Anse d’Hainault. It is so different from Port-au-Prince’s urban jungle. Outside of work, I enjoy photography and learning how to take good quality pictures. I also like day trips to the beach. |
FRANCESCA
I enjoy every aspect of my job, but what I prefer is seeing how well we are accepted in Cite-Soleil. It is a difficult place to work so it’s a nice feeling to know we are appreciated. In my downtime, I like to visit historical sites in Haiti and learn more on the internet. |
OUR DRIVER
RAPHAEL
The best thing about my job is to deliver soap to our partner hospitals, communities and organizations. I was very busy right after the 2021 August earthquake and helped transport more than 11,000 liters of soap to families in need. On weekends, I usually spend time working on my moto’s maintenance. I clean parts and make sure everything runs smoothly. |
