Founder of The Marthe’s Spot Foundation Inc.
Marthe Hardy, a 27-year-old Haitian American woman born on February 22nd, 1996, in St. Paul, Minnesota, stands as the first generation in her family, with her parents, older brother, and sister originally hailing from Haiti. Despite facing hardships during her upbringing, Marthe tenaciously graduated from high school for performing arts and has devoted over 8 years to serving her community.
The ongoing turmoil in Haiti represents a continuous cycle of challenges that deeply affected Marthe's family. Recently, her parents returned to the States from Haiti, profoundly disheartened by the distressing events unfolding in their homeland. Motivated by this and the persistent issues plaguing Haiti, Marthe initiated her own organization here in Atlanta georgia where she can now be a service to her people and address the global and local issues taking place.
In just 5 months of active engagement, Marthe has assembled an exceptional team and forged a partnership with Children’s Fate, an organization dedicated to housing and mentoring displaced youth in Cameroon. Her organization doesn't just seek to assist but aims to address and deliberate on the issues prevalent in Haiti, proposing a fresh approach for future nonprofits.
Marthe's vision extends beyond global outreach; she is passionately committed to instigating change at the local level. Her unwavering dedication and strategic partnerships reflect her resolute mission to make a tangible and transformative impact within her community and beyond.
