Who We Are
Our ongoing commitment includes funding for teacher salaries, books, uniforms and other school supplies, and food and drinking water for the orphanage children. We also supply nutritious snacks for the neighborhood students.
We have been blessed to be able to raise funds for special projects to accommodate the stunning growth since 2015, including new septic systems, additional classrooms, cisterns for drinking water, building improvements, a fourth and fifth school, and emergency funds in response to natural disasters, health crises, or inflation of food prices during political upheavals. The schools have gained an excellent reputation in their communities and are a base for Lutheran neighborhood congregations as they hold weekly church services with an average attendance of 400+ people. We pray these students will become community leaders who carry the gospel torch in Haiti! |

OUR STATEMENT OF BELIEF:
We are a Bible-based community of international churches known collectively as Confessional Lutherans. This community includes the WELS and ELS synods in the United States, the Haitian National Lutheran Church in Haiti, and other international synods that share this confession: |
"My school is known for the quality of education. Every student receives a copy of Luther’s Simplified Catechism. If we did not have my school, all of my orphans would not learn to read and write – I could not afford to send them to a public school because of the costs. I would have to choose from among my children."
