A little about us...
Founded in 1997, Kòt a Kòt began as a way to care for six little girls in Haiti, and until recently was known as Providence Ministries. Our goal was to provide resources so these girls could be raised in a loving Haitian family while maintaining ties to their families of origin and surrounding communities.
Kòt a Kòt is a Haitian Creole phrase that means "Side by Side". We have changed our name to remind us that the girls are now young women and becoming more like partners...we are walking side by side with them rather than leading them. It is our desire to empower them as they become independent and contributing members of their communities.
