THE CHILDREN

THEIR STORY

Fond Blanc is home to unique, beautiful, and amazing children and teenagers. This community is their home, their safe place and their sanctuary. Here they go to school, church, and live their lives. These children are a family.

Pastor Jean Claude, a Haitian pastor and Fond Blanc Foundation founding member started to build the Fond Blanc School in 2011. He oversaw several churches and congregations in other communities throughout Haiti. Within these communities, he met many families who could not care for their children. Resources in Haiti are scarce and all too often parents cannot feed or educate their children. He began to open his house to children in need and soon after began construction on schools and churches in Port-au-Prince and Fond Blanc. After the earthquake damaged much of the city of Port-au-Prince, many children living there were forced to move to Fond Blanc and now call it home.

In Fond Blanc, the land supports a church, school, staff/student-housing and missionary dormitory. In recent years the Fond Blanc Foundation has helped the community expand with chicken coops, garden/farming land, sewing/textiles area, and more.

The children live as one community, providing friendship and support for each other as they grow up outside their family units. It’s not always an easy life. And we’re working hard to make sure these children grow up with every opportunity to succeed.
