Since 1995, Fondation Espoir has pioneered sustainable development in Haiti. Over the years and through its various programs, the foundation has developed its own methodology called Harmonious Development that promotes a holistic capacity-building approach to sustainable development by investing in the betterment of local human resources, their organizations and their communities. This process entails the training of Association Leaders, the facilitation of networking opportunities as well as the use of social communication media to encourage a collective change in mentality. These activities are reinforced through Project Centers, based in Port-au-Prince and the provinces, which provide technical assistance to the organizations and also serve as entrepreneurial environments. The organization also has 2 affiliated centers under its unbrella, the Athletic d’Haiti, a football and schooling program in Cité Soleil, and Ikashi, an Aikido Dojo, promoting conflict management and Peace building, in Pétion-ville.

In 2002, Fondation Espoir began steadily developing itself as a grant writing institution, continuously presenting projects to different donors to pursue its mission. Among the activities that have been funded are the "Intergenerational Exchange between Young Girls and Positive Female Role Models", financed by the United Nations (UNOPS) as well as the multifaceted projects funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) which include: "Vision and Agenda for Youth", "Reinforcing Community Associations", the "Champions Program", "Reinforcing Project Centers" and "Engaging Youth in Community Development". The Foundation also held "Trainings for Young Candidates", a project financed by the International Republican Institute (IRI) where several of the participants were elected to public office as Senators, House Representatives and Mayors. The Fondation has also worked with the Atlas Economic Research Foundation and the Organization of American States (OAS) on proposing an"e-Government Development Strategy" and later the "Computers for Schools" program. Thanks to a European Union (EU) grant, Fondation Espoir has also worked with organizations such as the Haitian Environment Foundation (FHE) holding National Forums and Workshops on Energy and Water Strategic plans. Simultaneously, it has worked with CHF International on communication programs, hosting the show, Jeune Ayiti on national radio, addressing Leadership, Health and Self-Improvement issues for the Youth. Its social communication efforts have also included the production of a Leadership Training video and 2 short films "Accepting Being Haitian" and "Fyev Wouj", (Red Fever) a thriller that addresses the impact of not protecting nature and the environment. The participants, who all came from the Jeune Ayiti foundation’s network of more than 900 young leaders, were presented with the challenge of contributing to the writing of the film scenarios as well as acting, in just a week’s time. "Technologies for Sustainable Development", which included the development of a curriculum for training technicians in sustainable development, the promotion of its "Computers for Schools" program through the installation of recycled computers in schools and the development of Information Technology and Leadership classes in secondary schools. The foundation was actively looking for funds to promote this new program when Haiti was hit by the terrible and already historic earthquake of January 12th, 2010.
