Empowering Minds, Transforming Lives

About Us

We are on a mission to break the cycle of childhood poverty in Haitian communities through education, nutrition, and healthcare

Since our inception in 2017, we have served the needs of close to 2000 children through our mentorship and school education program.

Our annual toy distribution has been a joy for those who would not have received any holiday gifts. Our back-to-school drive has also been an annual event that brings awareness to the needs of school children.

We believe that every child deserves the right to a school education regardless of their origin or background. Ending illiteracy can help stop the cycle of poverty and stimulate the economy in underserved communities.

Eradicating childhood poverty is vital for breaking the cycle of poverty, improving educational outcomes, and enhancing health and well-being. It leads to long term economic benefits, social stability, and equity, while building stronger communities.

We want to ensure that every child has an opportunity to succeed, fostering a more prosperous and just society. Ensuring every child has the right to an education requires accessible schools, qualified teachers, and affordable education. It involves comprehensive support services like healthcare and nutrition, community engagement, and advocacy for policies that prioritize education and protect children’s rights.

Providing necessary infrastructure and resources, along with inclusive education for all children, including marginalized groups, is essential.

Our Vision

To eradicate generational poverty among Haitians families in the US and the Caribbean.

Our Mission

To break the cycle of childhood poverty in Haitian communities in South Florida, Haiti, and Dominican Republic. We do so by providing access to healthcare, nutrition, and holistic educational programs that promote leadership, spiritual and emotional growth, so our children have an opportunity to succeed and thrive in their lives.

Our Core Values

Our core values are rooted in biblical principles of love, kindness, forgiveness, faith, peace, and service, guiding our holistic approach to education. We aim to lift children out of poverty and foster their emotional, spiritual, and physical development. We believe in providing comprehensive support that nurtures the whole child, ensuring they grow strong and resilient.

Our commitment to quality education equips children with essential knowledge and skills, while our focus on health and nutrition ensures they are well-prepared to learn. We create safe, inclusive environments where every child can thrive. Through these values, we empower children to break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter, faith-filled future.
