Haiti Micah Project

What Haiti Micah Project does

Haiti Micah Project is a Virginia-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2005 by Reverend Joseph Constant, a Haitian American Episcopal priest, in response to urgent outreach from city leaders in Mirebalais, Haiti. The organization delivers an integrated portfolio of five core programs to vulnerable children in Haiti's central plateau: a daily feeding program serving approximately 500 children, an education program subsidizing school attendance for 330 children, the SAES Home (Solidarite et Action Pour Les Enfants de Sion) orphanage housing 27-30 children, a Water Treatment Center providing clean drinking water, and a Vocational Training Center (Centre d'Encadrement de Pédagogique et de Formation Continue) opened in May 2016 offering skills training in sewing, computer literacy and repair, cosmetology, auto repair, and teacher training. US operations are headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, while program delivery is conducted on the ground in Mirebalais, Haiti, with 80% of donations directed to Haiti-based programming.

The organization's revenue model is donation-driven, structured across four streams: individual donations (one-time and monthly recurring), a child sponsorship program at $1.00/day, corporate and organizational support including grants from the Charles Engelhard Foundation ($110,000 matching grant) and church partners, and memorial/honor donations. Pre-set donation tiers range from $10 to $250, and donors may designate gifts to specific programs. The organization employs a distributed-to-donor GTM model — direct donation solicitation through website, social media (Facebook, YouTube, X/Twitter), an email newsletter archive spanning 2014-2025, and partnerships with US churches and faith-based organizations including Grace Episcopal, Immanuel Church on the Hill, Trinity Episcopal, First Presbyterian Richmond, and the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia.

Operationally, the organization runs lean — fewer than 10 total personnel including a 10-member US Board of Directors, three Haitian administrative staff, six caregivers plus an English tutor at the orphanage, and program-specific coordinators. 2024 estimated expenses are $252,346, with the US Board and Haitian Board donating their time. The organization has no proprietary technology platform, no app, no APIs, and no AI/ML component; it is a direct service-delivery humanitarian nonprofit. Recognition includes the 2020 GreatNonprofits Top Rated Nonprofit award.
