Artists for Peace and Justice, which works in Haiti with the St. Luke Foundation, has so far helped educate more than 31,000 students
NKPR Founder and APJ Co-Chair Natasha Koifman attend the 15th Annual Artists For Peace And Justice Fundraiser During Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 9, 2023, in Toronto.Back in 2009, Natasha Koifman didn’t know much about Haiti until she ran into some friends who’d returned from a trip to the country.
Ms. Koifman wanted NKPR to have a philanthropic mission and she partnered with Artists for Peace and Justice, a charitable foundation launched in 2009 by film director Paul Haggis that focused on education in Haiti. The following year Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake, which drew global attention. Ms. Koifman and a team of celebrities raised $5-million to help Artists for Peace and Justice build a high school in Port-au-Prince.
