Overview

Mission

The mission of the House of Hope Haiti is to spread the love of Jesus by providing food, clothing, shelter, education, and job skill training to the people of Haiti.

What it reported doing in 2025

We continue our outreach to mountain villages and the communities near our school and orphanages. This year, we provided books, school supplies and free schooling for more than 200 kids in the community, and distribute food. We also continue to maintain three wells that are available for the public. We have built three spring boxes in the mountains to collect spring water for villager household use and are planning another.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
