Overview

Mission

Three angels children's relief is a ministry that serves orphans and at-risk families in haiti. Our mission is to help children in haiti escape poverty so that they may experience god's love, become part of a healthy home, and grow into who they are called to be. Our approach involves serving both orphans and at-risk families with programs aimed at sustainable change. Our vision is that every child in haiti would have the opportunity to live in a healthy christian home either in haiti or abroad.

What it reported doing in 2025

Three angels christian academy: the school has educated 318 students from preschool through 9th grade this school year. The secondary scholarship program has provided scholarships for 64 students, grades 7-philo (13th and final year of high school), including 44 inhouse (grades 7-9) and 20 in partnering high schools (grades 10-philo). Our ninth generation of students graduated high school this last month (june 2026). Although food prices continue to rise, we serve hot, nutritious lunches to all inhouse students each school day. Our resident social worker provides ongoing training for our teaching staff to identify and address trauma in the students we serve as well as designing enriching activities to sharpen critical thinking skills, reading comprehension, healthy social interaction, and cooperative activity. Furthermore, he has counseled our pto on positive support and interactions with our student body to promote overall healthier children, inside and out, who are better equipped to make the most of their education opportunity and have a better chance at a productive future.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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 the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
