Village of Hope Haiti

What Village of Hope Haiti does

Village of Hope Haiti (legally Village of Hope Inc., EIN 20-3894967) is a Christian 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1994 and headquartered at 300 East Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida. The organization delivers education, primary healthcare, nutrition, and vocational training programs to impoverished children and rural communities across six locations in Haiti: Ganthier (flagship campus of 9 buildings on 30 acres, currently closed due to gang violence since June 2023), Bord de Mer, Dubout, Bercy, Bondeau, and Port-au-Prince. Core program assets include the VOH School (serving 640 students with 70 Haitian teachers and staff), the VOH Health Center (capacity of ~50 patients daily with lab, pharmacy, dental, and eye care), a school nutrition program providing 45,000 to 95,000 meals per academic year, and a vocational training program in partnership with Extollo International.

The organization funds its operations through a community-led fundraising model centered on child sponsorship subscriptions ($40/month), village sponsorship programs (e.g., $100/patient medical sponsorships through Bernard Mevs Hospital targeting 1,000 patients), preset monthly recurring tiers ($20/$40/$60/$100), one-time donations, and corporate/matching programs. Donor acquisition runs through the organization's website (villageofhopehaiti.org), partner churches and congregations, corporate sponsors, Amazon Smile, and a self-serve fundraising campaign platform. The founding partner, Food for the Poor, has supported VOH since the 1994 inaugural trip led by Ferdinand Mahfood; subsequent strategic partners include Y-KNOT Missions and Mission of Hope (both since 2023) for Cap Haitien schools, Extollo International for vocational training, Bernard Mevs Hospital for healthcare delivery, and South Florida Haiti Project for Bondeau operations.

The operating model is direct program delivery by field staff in Haiti with US-based fundraising and oversight. The organization employs 11-50 staff at its Boca Raton headquarters and 70 teachers/staff on the ground in Haiti. No parent company, private equity, or venture capital backing is reported. The organization navigates a high-risk operating environment: gang violence in Port-au-Prince forced closure of the original campus and has driven expansion into safer northern regions, while creating beneficiary demand from displaced refugee families. Financial figures are not publicly disclosed.
