The Andrew Grene Foundation (AGF) is dedicated to supporting the people of Haiti through education, loans and building projects. Andrew Grene's twin brother Gregory worked tirelessly and without any remuneration to set up a freestanding branch of a micro-financing project called "Fonkoze", as well as a much needed secondary school in Cité Soleil the poorest area of Port-au-Prince, which opened in August last year. The only secondary school in the area, it has been built from scratch by AGF, and even though the running costs for the first year have already been secured, it needs to give the students many more years of education.
