OUR
PROJECTS
All fundraising supports programs and initiatives that empower, educate and strengthen the families & children at Foyer des Familles and our twins at Love Orphanage. Thanks to our generous supporters, we are also able to provide life skill opportunities such as art projects and entrepreneurial training.

Fundraising
Current project
Avek Ou ("with you" in Haitian Creole) is based in Michigan, United States. We execute 4 - 6 fundraisers each year, including an annual Easter Egg Hunt averaging 120 kids and online chocolate sale with Askanya chocolatier, all hand-made in Haiti; Startup Haiti, which raises money for our families to start their own cottage business; a reception and online Silent Auction, featuring beautiful works of art and home goods; and Cookies for a Cause when we deliver dozens of homemade gingerbread cookies to our donors the second weekend in December.
All monies raised support the empowerment and strengthening of families at Foyer des Familles (food, medical care, security, education, trade school), as well as the opportunity to learn arts/crafts and introductions to entrepreneurial training.
STARTUP HAITI: In communities across Haiti, thousands of capable men and women are ready to work—they just lack the tools to begin. With our new campaign, we’re raising funds to provide practical, income-generating resources like fryers, sewing machines, and market supplies. Your support directly fuels small businesses that uplift entire families. This isn’t about handouts—it’s about hope, grit, and the power of a fresh start. Join us in helping Haitian entrepreneurs turn their dreams into daily bread. June, 2026.

How funds are used
We FEEL every dollar we receive. Over 90% of funds received are sent directly to Haiti to support the families, children and staff at Foyer des Familles (home for families). Recurring monthly basic needs at the home include food, water, propane and salaries for our dedicated Haitian staff.
