Education, nourishment, and Hope in every mountain community

In the face of daily hardship, our schools anchor families to the gospel and equip children for a future no storm can take from them.

What We Do

Lasting change, generation by generation

HEF is not an education organization. It is a ministry. Education is the means. The gospel is the mission. Every part of the work is built to be owned, led, and sustained by Haitians long after any of us are gone.

Christ-Centered Education

34 campuses led by Haitian priests. Every teacher belongs to the local Christian community.

Daily Nourishment

65,000 hot meals served every month. For many children, it is the only meal they will eat that day.

Père Albert Scholarship Fund

20 college and trade-school scholars enrolled now. Full support for top-performing graduates.

Faithful Presence

Building and keeping campuses open as community anchors, even when the world falls apart around them.

Can you trust this ministry?

Every cent reaches the work

A little goes a long way. In these mountains, it goes further than most donors ever see.
A Story from the Mountains

She was selling gasoline from a barrel on the side of a road.

It was a death sentence, and Père Albert knew it. He got her into school.

She became a nurse.

That is one story. In the mountains of southern Haiti there are thousands more. A young man became the first Haitian to earn a Salesforce certification. Children go home and teach their siblings to read. Those siblings grow up and send their own children to school.

We are now educating the grandchildren of our original students. For less than 27 cents a day, a child receives an education. That child changes a family. That family strengthens a community.

Voices from the Ministry

What God has done

If God wants schools in the mountains, there will be schools in the mountains.

Père Jean-Wilfred Albert
Founding Haitian priest

Praise be to God. We are so grateful for what has been done in our mountains.

From a student's letter
Southern Haiti

These children go home and share what they have learned. They become God’s little missionaries.
