Maison Fortune Orphange Foundation Inc

What it says it does

We raise awareness and funds to support the children at the Maison Fortune Orphanage in Hinche, Haiti to become future leaders of Haiti. Our work provides opportunities for the Haitian people to improve their own country. Our shared goal is to make sure the children in the orphanages care are empowered and equipped with the best possible tools and skills to succeed and become active contributors in their community. Our effort is boots and hearts on the ground having a direct impact, not simply sending money or items to Haiti. That way we know a difference is being made each and every day. We are educating, inspiring, feeding and caring for the future of this incredibly wonderful and complex nation.
