FREEDOM SOUP

The spirit of Freedom is in sharing

For the last 24 years, Fondation Marie Claire Heureuse Félicité Bonheur Dessalines commonly known as FONDASYON FÉLICITÉE (FF) has honored the legacy of Empress, Marie Claire Heureuse Félicitée Bonheur Dessalines, with its Annual Freedom Soup Distribution Program. 

In the last few years, FONDASYON FELICITEE has distributed over 40,000 bowls of Freedom Soup in over 31 cities throughout Ayiti (Haiti). This year,  with the support of our community, we strive to will continue this tradition of sharing and expand our reach.

We invite you and your network to join us this year in sharing the legacy of freedom!

LEGACY of LA FÉLICITÉ
& the HISTORY of 
soup joumou (fREEDOM SOUP)
Over two centuries ago, Marie Claire Heureuse Félicité Bonheur Dessalines, the first empress of Ayiti (Haiti), began the tradition of distributing Soup Joumou (a squashed-based soup), AKA Freedom Soup, across the island.

Her mission was to honor this renewed freedom for many Haitians by promoting health, education, and justice. She and her team would prepare Freedom Soup every year, in its authentic fashion, purely vegetarian.

After preparations were complete, they would travel to various corners of Ayiti and distribute to those who could not access the resources to prepare Freedom Soup. 

The distribution occurred from sun up until sun down and lasted for the entire first week of the January. This spirit of sharing is the legacy that FONDASYON FELICITEE carries onward!
