Baptist Haiti Mission

What Baptist Haiti Mission does

Baptist Haiti Mission (BHM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1943 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, with operational headquarters in Fermathe, Haiti. The organization operates an integrated portfolio of Christian ministries: 242 churches across multiple Haitian provinces, 240 schools (224 of which were operational as of the most recent disclosure), and a 100-bed hospital. BHM serves approximately 250,000 Haitians through hospital services and 30,000+ children through its school network, supported by 1,650 teachers, 50+ hospital staff, and a 16-person US HQ team. The hospital performs 300+ surgeries, supports 500 births, and handles 10,000+ outpatient visits annually.

BHM delivers its services through in-person operations rather than a proprietary technology platform. The portfolio spans primary and secondary education, maternal and surgical healthcare, pastoral training, and emergency/crisis relief. The October 2024 Stoller Foundation grant funded remote Training Hubs, extending BHM's educational product line beyond its existing 240 schools into adult theological and pastoral instruction. Operational modernization is underway via a Build Health International solar assessment and a Critical Power Upgrade Project targeted at approximately $100K in annual energy cost savings, addressing grid instability in Haiti.

BHM's revenue model is donation-driven with two primary streams: (1) general contributions from individual donors and institutional partners including the Stoller Foundation, Compassion International, USAID, Samaritan's Purse, World Hope Ministries, and the International Ministerial Fellowship, and (2) a Child Sponsorship Program that funds schools at $40-$2,920 per month per school. The Austin-based HQ coordinates US-side fundraising, partner relations, and back-office support, while Haiti-based leadership manages the schools, churches, and hospital. No revenue, audited financials, or 990-series disclosures are present in the source material.
