Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

We rescue, love and care for orphans and impoverished children in Haiti, meeting their physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs so they are empowered to become leaders in their communities and nation.

  • The Medical + Malnutrition Center served over 6,200 patients via emergency care, intake/assessment, diagnostic blood analysis, radiology lab, outpatient treatment, inpatient treatment for malnutrition, pharmacy and medical transport to and from the Center. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit NICU treated 320 patients. The Dental Clinic served 825 patients with dental hygiene, preventative and restorative services, along with supplies. Wellness education was given on disease prevention/wellness. Near death children were saved from starvation through an inpatient nutrition and medical regimen with an outpatient program to ensure wellness and to monitor patients' food security. Our Malnutrition Mountain Outreach Program treated 1,250 children who live in rural areas without access to medical care.

    Expenses $815,643 · Revenue $105,678

  • The Children's Homes provided full-time care for 47 orphans in 6 independently operating households which include a House Parent for 10 to 13 children, one for children with special needs. This provides a nurturing family-type setting with safe, comfortable rooms, nourishing food 3 meals per day, clothing including school uniforms, and emotional and spiritual care/support. There are three trained nurses who provide 24/7 specialized nursing care to each child and house moms provide care to these children, treating each one of them with the utmost dignity, respect, and love. This home provided 12 children with special needs and physical disabilities with care. These children are often discarded by their families and society.

    Expenses $556,783

  • The School educated 330 students, preschool through Grade 13, including 25 children from the Children's Homes and nearby Ouanaminthe. The School has 17 classrooms and employs almost 40 Haitians, providing supplies, books, uniforms and medical care. A feeding program began in 2002 when children would come to school hungry, unable to focus. Curriculum follows Haiti's Ministry of Education and U.S. based strategies for analytical reasoning and problem-solving. Students learn 4 languages. The sports program allows students to compete in sports such as soccer and volleyball. Since 2014, 113 students out of 115 have graduated High School and received support and guidance through the Scholarship Program with 17 attending college/vocational school in Haiti and 1 attending college in the U.S.

    Expenses $473,771 · Revenue $20,853

  • Approximately 500 people from the community attend Temple de l'Espoir, a church operated by the organization on its campus each week. The church hosts conferences and events open to the community for spiritual enrichment. The farm is located on 106 acres of land outside of Ouanaminthe. The farming project currently consists of peanuts, sugar cane, pineapple, banana trees, plantain trees and yuca plants. The next phase is developing a goat and chicken farm. The goal of this program is to become more self-sustainable. This project will supplement our feeding program, ensuring that we can provide nutritious food for the children who come to us for help.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
