What it reported doing in 2024

Construction projects - after the completion of the home building project in the leveque and minoterie communities, mission of hope is now focusing on replicating that same model of home construction in the villages of labodrie and titanyen. We believe that with larger lots and proper utilization of garden areas, many of the families can grow enough food not only for themselves, but also to sell in local markets or back to mission of hope. Additionally, mission of hope partners with the local villages and organizations to construct homes, churches, schools, orphanages, and latrines as needs arise in those villages. Medical care - basic medical care is hard to come by in haiti and the dominican republic. Mission of hope offers several programs to meet this critical need, though most in haiti such as prosthetics lab and vision clinic are currently on hiatus due to ongoing crisis. Mobile clinics where we serve take healthcare into villages and communitites. Orphan care - village of hope provides a quality home, a christ-centered education, and a loving church community to 11 orphans and 16 transition home students. Children in the orphanage are cared for by "mommies" who live on campus with them. Each mommy takes care of about 6 children, which provides the feeling of family and ensures each child is given personal attention. Pastors act as the spiritual fathers to these children, mentoring and discipling them alongside the mothers, to provide a godly example of manhood. Our primary goal is to resource local families and the church to meet the needs of orphans. In doing so, we will continue to care for our orphans and serve as a last-resort solution for orphans with no alternatives. In addition to the orphans still being cared for in the village of hope, 16 of our young adults, over the age of 18, live in the transition home. The transition home allows them to live on their own and get part-time jobs, while continuing to finish school and be mentored and partially supported by sponsors.
