Giving back to the less fortunate is embedded in Stéphane Laroche's core. He utilizes that passion as a diplomat working for the USAID as a Regional Financial Service Officer. Growing up in Haiti, he learned about hard work and sharing with the less fortunate. The tough circumstances that he faced in Haiti as a single child helped prepare him to navigate his career in the US. Stéphane is one of the many immigrant success stories that will be featured on Zaka throughout the year. He is extremely proud to represent and lead America's policies around the world as a Black man.
