ABOUT US
Maintaining the vision of founder, Marie and Fritz Roche, Good Shepherd International operates to change communities in Christ through faith, education, service and love. – That is our mission.
In 1985, Marie and Fritz Roche founded ‘Good Shepherd Church of God in Christ’ in their home state of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Today, Good Shepherd serves Haitian communities by continuing to provide a place to worship, and delivering primary education to young men and women with the introduction of Good Shepherd Academy. Operating in Haiti’s capital, Good shepherd Academy provides education to many youth in the Port-au-Prince area, and offers employment opportunities to local Haitian residents.
