Our Mission and Goals
Since 1987 this Christian mission has provided a home to many homeless and abondoned children from Port au Prince, Haiti. These children have been given the opportunity to attend school and to learn apprenticeships which gives them hope for the future. The mission sponsors 35 children from the Croix Desprez neighborhood and educates this area of Port au Prince about the risks of HIV/AIDS. The HIV/AIDS counselors grew up in the orphanage and now work to give back what the mission has done for them. During the past nearly 21 years, the mission has been blessed to be able to assist the poor in Haiti. In the year 2002 the Centre Croix Desprez was completed and in August 2003 we started our canteen feeding program in St. Louis du Nord. This feeding program serves 125 children two meals on Saturday and Sunday in this poor neighborhood of St. Louis du Nord. For many haitian poor children, these are the only meals they receive each day. Although we cannot help all Haitian children, we can help one neighborhood one child at a time. In spite of the sagging US economy and decrease in donations, God has blessed us to continue our work with these poor children. We will keep on praying and serving these deserving Haitians.

About the mission in Haiti
The Children of Hope Foundation sponsors the Children of Hope Mission and Centre Croix Desprez in Port au Prince, Haiti. Founded in 1987 by John Roberge, lay missionary, the Foundation has has built an orphanage for 16 children and grade school for 55 children, a community center for sponsorship children and their families, an HIV/AIDS education program; medical assistance program for poor Haitian children,and a canteen feeding program in the North of Haiti. After encountering a group of homeless and abandoned youth in front of the Cathredal, John arranged to have the children fed at an outdoor kitchen set up to feed workmen. Soon he realized that the many needs of these homeless youth could not be met on the street. In a step of faith and with only $2,000 in the church safe, he decided to open the St. Francis Xavier Home for Boys to six homeless and abandoned boys. With the support of family, friends, and various inter-denominational churches the orphanage began to receive the necessary funding to continue the work. Within a few weeks, the orphanage became home to 16 boys. During the next ten years John worked with the Haitian staff to make the orphanage an independent Haitian mission. In 1997, having enough funds to continue the work, the Director, Vital Anous, took charge of the orphanage and operated the home until 2003. The home closed after 16 years of service to children.
Altough no longer responsible for the orphanage, the Children of Hope Foundation continues its work in the various endeavors described above. One young man, Philistin Pierre, who resided at the orphanage for four years and worked for us for two years is now attending Bethany College of Missions in Minneapolis Minnesota. Wilson Solivert and Lucmane Niclasse both of whom grew up in the mission now coordinate our efforts in Haiti.
