Olivia Wilde supports Haiti school initiative through Artists for Peace and Justice
The organisation has helped over 32,000 children access education and healthcare since its inception.
Hollywood actress Olivia Wilde is a member of the board of directors for Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ), an organisation that established a free school in Port-au-Prince following the 2010 earthquake, according to the Times of India.
The school, known as the Academy for Peace and Justice, originally opened in October 2010 with approximately 300 students aged between 12 and 18. The programme has since grown to support more than 1,400 students annually and employs about 180 staff members.
APJ has raised more than $37 million since it began, assisting over 32,000 children with education, healthcare, and vocational opportunities. The organisation also previously supported the Artists Institute, a professional training centre for the film and music industries.
A recent fundraiser held during the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2026 raised more than $700,000. The gala took place at the Windsor Arms Hotel and featured Canadian personalities including Andrea Martin, Emily Hampshire, and Jann Arden.
The initiative continues to operate amidst rising gang violence in Haiti. APJ board chair Natasha Koifman told NOW Toronto that insecurity has stopped many students from being able to go to school.
This comes as a September 2026 assessment by UNICEF and other agencies estimated that 253,725 children in Haiti could face acute malnutrition between June 2026 and May 2027.
