Nedgine Paul is the co-founder & CEO of Anseye Pou Ayiti (“Teach For Haiti” in Haitian Kreyòl), which seeks to create a new narrative of Haiti by investing in equal educational opportunity and developing a network of local leaders for education reform. Originally from Haiti, Nedgine moved to the U.S. at a young age and maintained ongoing leadership roles in community service and youth development programs, particularly within the Haitian community of Stamford and Norwalk, CT.

She has conducted teacher training seminars and extensive research about the historical, cultural, and socioeconomic factors contributing to Haiti’s school system. Nedgine earned a B.A. in History from Yale College and an Ed.M. in International Education Policy from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. In 2014, she was named among the top global social innovators by Echoing Green for her work leading Anseye Pou Ayiti. She is passionate about joining forces with others to continue pursuing her deep commitment to the expansion of high-quality educational opportunity in Haiti.
