     Located in a safe residential area on a hill with distant views of the ocean, Children's Village of Hope is being built to bring together the three residence facilities and school of Fondation Pour Les Enfants d'Haiti. 

    Our old locations have served us well, but time has shown the necessity of change.  Haiti Home for Children, still in its original location, is on the far side of Port-au-Prince near the international airport.  Not only is it an area prone to violence at times of political upheaval, but in recent years a cement factory opened behind the orphanage creating an ever-present white dust in the air and on all surfaces.  Rainbow of Love Nursery and Hope Institute for Handicapped Children, now in the first building constructed at the Village, had previously been in leased housing.  Not only were the houses not built specifically for the needs of children, the Foundation found itself increasingly at the mercy of the landlords with regard to necessary repairs and rent increases.

    With an eye toward the future, Fondation Pour Les Enfants d'Haiti purchased the land necessary to consolidate the projects in the late 1990's.  Construction has proceeded with prayer, the push of necessity, and the pull of funds given for the purpose of this building program. 

    The first building, pictured above, was completed in 2003.  Our babies and handicapped children were moved with great excitement and joy into spacious, airy, and bright rooms.  The physically challenged children are located on the first floor in easily accessible space. The babies are on the second floor of the new building.  Increased efficiency and economies of centralization were immediately realized.
