Our vision: Committed to change

Our mission: Support partners in the Global South who promote alternatives to unfair social, political and economic structures, and educate the Canadian population about the causes of poverty and mobilize Canadians towards actions for change. In the struggle for human dignity, the organization forms alliances with northern and southern groups working for social change. It also supports women in their search for social and economic justice

his is a leadership program where the core system will be culturally reinforced by the Haitian community. We are offering support to the leaders of the community, partnering with them, NOT imparting our traditions and ways. It is based on love by one more fruitful village listening, sharing and loving another, with an ocean in between. All financial information will be available to the sponsor quarterly. All services on the US side are donated with no overhead. All business trips to Haiti are personally paid, not out of sponsorship money. Every penny goes to purchase rice and beans, the gasoline getting it to the village (by motorcycle), cooking utensils needed (opening cans of fish is NOT easy with a knife and stick…trust me), child’s school tuition, uniforms (required in schools), and paper/book supplies.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger.
Our goal is to achieve food security for all and make sure that people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. With over 194 member states, FAO works in over 130 countries worldwide. We believe that everyone can play a part in ending hunger.

The primary purpose of For Haiti, with Love, Inc. is to make life better for the poorest of the poor - now, and to help them help themselves. Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Things have only gotten worse with a major food shortage. There are no jobs and the international community is withholding aid. Haiti's poor need jobs, they need food, education, homes and above all, they need hope. By providing food and free medical care for burns and other emergencies the people are back able to provide for themselves, with funding for cottage business start-ups, we help make that possible. FHL provides funds for basic education of reading, writing, and math through tuitions; cover personal emergencies like funerals, x-rays, special medications to give dignity. Provide clothing and shoes, proper home (when funding permits) all to add self- respect and feeling of independence.

It is estimated there are between 143 million and 210 million orphans worldwide and when considering children that live as orphans because their parents cannot afford to care for them, this astounding number skyrockets even higher. The Haiti Orphan Foundation is a small group of ordinary people who by God's great love are compelled to do something to address this appalling problem. More than meeting physical needs and caring for the vulnerable, HOF is committed to supporting homes for children that will bring the love of God to spiritually hungry children and disciple them in the truths of God's word.
