Hope - One Village at a Time

PROVIDING HOPE AND DIGNITY TO THE POOREST OF THE POOR IN HAITI



Homes For Destitute Families

We start with housing. The families we assist typically live in primitive shelters made from cast off materials. We provide a secure, dry, clean, cinder block home that they own to start a new beginning.

Safe Water and Sanitation

Water borne disease is a killer in poor communities. We ensure clean water and proper sanitation, through wells, water purification and sanitary facilities.

Community Development and Education

We help coordinate and train local village councils so residents can manage their own affairs. We also support educational development for children and adults.

Sustainable Food and Income

Establishing sustainable food sources; goats, chickens, gardens, cassava bakeries is an important step. In addition we help residents develop income producing enterprises to better provide for their families.
