Our namesake, Saint Benevolence, pays tribute to Saint Michel de l’Attalaye, the town at the heart of our charitable activities, and the spirit of benevolence: the desire to do good and the inclination to be kind. Both are a source of our ongoing inspiration and the core of our mission.
Every sip of Saint Benevolence rum directly funds charitable efforts through our longstanding nonprofit partner Innovating Health International, giving back to the people of Haiti through life-saving medical services and economic development. Through IHI, we are able to support impactful, Haitian-led, cancer care in Port au Prince. With every case sold, Saint Benevolence provides funding to cover one week of chemotherapy for an oncology patient. Saint Benevolence is also proud to support Haiti Air Ambulance, the only helicopter air ambulance service dedicated to serving the 11.4 million people of Haiti. HAA flies critically ill or injured patients 365 days a year to emergency medical care providers. HAA and IHI provide these services regardless of the patient’s ability to pay.
The Saint Benevolence spirit of charity extends to every aspect of our business model, including the well-being of our extended Saint Benevolence family in Saint Michel.
Our Haitian farmers, production teams, and their families receive free healthcare and medical benefits, including access to the best treatment facilities on the island and our team of visiting world-class surgeons. The children of our Haitian workers also receive subsidized education from kindergarten through the high school level.
Join us in the spirit of charity and Drink to Goodness.
