The three guiding pillars of QFCHE are Higher Education and Research, Education and Leadership. The Education Programs is the driving force behind QFCHE’s operations, providing a pathway out of poverty for students and their families. The leadership program ensures that students graduate with a strong sense of social justice and a commitment to making a better future not just to themselves, but for their community and their country. We learn early on that transforming the lives of impoverished children through education is not as simple as opening frees schools in Haiti. We needed to do more-we needed to address the issues and dysfunction that kept the children away from the classroom in Haiti is not easy. It’s only by addressing these barriers to education that we could achieve our goals of taking impoverished children and giving them, dignified life in a hard country like Haiti. Through interconnected programs, Queensland Foundation for Children, Health and Education works with families to build plans for escaping debt, educating their children and developing job skills for parents and older children. Queensland Foundation for Children, Health and Education works at the grassroots, community level to develop integrated yet simple solutions to the complex issues of poverty in the rural and urban areas of Haiti.

Advisory Board members contribute to the success of economic and social development activities on an ad hoc basis in their area of expertise. These include the various personalities on the Foundation's advisory board:
The Queensland Foundation for Children, Health and Education (FONQES) is based on four core values:
1) Childhood and old age
2) Health
3) Education
4) Cooperation and exchange
Education is an essential part of any program aimed at improving the living conditions of the communities. Because we believe in the urgent need for training and promotion and the participation of the citizen in the integral development of Haiti.
Health is still a very important area of development, in Haiti in this 21st century we see peasant women in full belt carrying on a wooden door stick to be able to arrive on a dirt road with vehicles capable of transporting a pregnant woman in a health center or a medical clinic for her delivery. The majority of these farmers’ women die in the end.
Cooperation and exchange which is the surest tool of a community or a society to understand and join forces in a climate of peace and prosperity to build a community together and then promote economic and social growth.
