WE DO

Our process + mission.
Family Placement
Step 1
Sustainability at Foyer des Familles
Step 2
Independence
Step 3
Currently there are an estimated 170,000 people displaced in the capital Port au Prince alone. These crucially at-risk individuals and families find themselves facing dire poverty, violence and illness due to the highly volatile and unstable conditions that exist in Haiti. Through a thoughtful selection process, our local Haitian team identifies those families at greatest risk who are then evaluated for placement at Foyer des Familles. Evaluation criteria includes a collaborative mindset; ability to learn a self-sustaining trade; the heartfelt desire to contribute to the betterment of their family, the home, and local community.
At our safe home in Haiti, we provide shelter and support to three families, using a sustainable model focused on empowerment. Every child is enrolled in a local school, while adults contribute to the home’s upkeep through daily tasks and repairs. This shared responsibility helps build a sense of ownership and community.
We go beyond basic support by offering vocational and entrepreneurial training to adults, equipping them with skills for long-term self-sufficiency. Each family plays an integral role in the success of the home, learning vital skills that will help them transition to independent living.
Our goal is to help families become self-sufficient and build a future where they can support themselves. By fostering a mindset of independence and providing practical skills, we empower families to thrive and contribute to their community.
The simple, powerful goal at Foyer des Familles is to give our parents and children the tools necessary to live lives of hope, strength and independence, contributing to their community in impactful and lasting ways.
