Our Mission
We exist to provide vulnerable children with the foundation they need to build healthy, independent, and purposeful lives.
Safe Housing
A stable, loving home where children are safe, cared for, and surrounded by family.
Education
From early learning through higher education, we invest in long-term academic and vocational growth.
Medical Care
We provide access to medical, dental, and vision care for children and surrounding communities.
Faith
Our children are raised in a Christ-centered environment where prayer, worship, Scripture, and discipleship are part of daily life, so that each child may know they are deeply loved by God, created with purpose, and never alone in their journey.
One Act of Kindness. A Lifelong Mission.
After the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, a team from Pittsburgh traveled to deliver relief support. There they met Chedlin Justinvil, a Haitian architect whose life had been changed by a missionary who once invested in his education.
That act of kindness shaped everything that followed.
Chedlin and his late wife Sofie began opening their home to children with nowhere else to go—offering safety, education, and family.
What started with a few children grew into:
- a home for more than 20 children
- a school serving the community
- a church
- and a growing movement of people committed to the vision
What began as disaster relief became a lifelong partnership.
Help Build a Future of Hope
Every child deserves safety, education, and opportunity.
Your support makes that possible.
Not just survival—transformation.
