This is primarily accomplished through monthly sponsorships of classrooms or teachers. A new monthly sponsor initiative also began April 2021 on behalf of the 200-400 students who attend the School … a Feeding Program serving a hot nutritious meal to each student during every school day — increasing their ability to learn and even to live a long healthy life. Education is hope in Haiti! This school serves the families of this deeply impoverished area by opening doors for the future of their children. #HelpThemLearn #HelpThemLive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4076f639b77957555f968c/1583722403407-DZKNPKT611BW2QIB632Q/IMG_5064.JPG Home - Children’s Home Haiti Joy Hope is a conduit for monthly sponsorship of the children/young adults who live at the Source de la Grace Children’s Home.

(HJH) informally began in 2018 as a ministry to vulnerable children in the heart of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. HJH was initiated in Bev May’s heart following 7 years of leadership involvement with Haiti Missions through a church in Missouri, and including over 20 trips to this deeply impoverished but beautiful island country. Haiti Joy Hope began to become a reality, receiving status as a Non-Profit Corporation in May of 2019 through the State of Missouri, and then 501(c)(3) status in June of 2020. https://www.haitijoyhope.org/introduction-video daily 0.75 2021-04-02 https://www.haitijoyhope.org/mission-statement daily 0.75 2021-12-23 https://www.haitijoyhope.org/values-commitments daily 0.75 2020-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4076f639b77957555f968c/1581635713269-HDUC3X7CBNFQKP78CUQP/IMG_6821.jpeg Values & Commitments - Values & Commitments To serve alongside Source de la Grace church ministries with compassion for the vulnerable children of Haiti, with respect for Source de la Grace as a church, and with appreciation for Haiti as a culture. To operate as a ministry with Christ at the center, listening to Him for direction and seeking to bring Him honor in all things. To maintain the relaxed and relational way in which ministry began in 2011 alongside Source de la Grace in Portail Leogane, Haiti., seeking to prioritize spiritual unity, maintain trust, and allow ministry to flow out of grace-filled relationship. To keep the perspective and objectives outlined by the Lord in James 1:27 – “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” To “do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14), both financially through consistent giving and relationally through consistent ministry trips and relationship. To guard and uphold these values and commitments, expecting those within Haiti Joy Hope and those representing Haiti Joy Hope to do the same. https://www.haitijoyhope.org/our-team daily 0.75 2023-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4076f639b77957555f968c/1585104898957-C3ENRG4Z7XHNKQ8LBM5F/Bev+HJH+pic.JPG Our Team - Bev May, Founder and Executive Director Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
