As an organization following Jesus Christ, Mission of Hope Haiti touches thousands of lives daily in Haiti through the Church of Hope, School of Hope, Hope House Orphanage, Hospital/Clinic of Hope, Disaster Early Warning and Disaster Relief.

Mission of Hope Haiti is a multi-entity not-for-profit organization with offices in Haiti and the U.S. The organization operates several different programs, including church advancement, healthcare and orphan care ministries. They've experienced rapid growth in the last six years.
