Beyond the Orphanage

Community Outreach

We don't just care for 66 children. We're building a stronger Grand Goâve — one job, one meal, one partnership at a time.

We Believe in Community, Not Isolation

Many orphanages operate as islands — disconnected from the communities around them. We chose a different path. Brit's Home is woven into the fabric of Grand Goâve.

We employ local workers. We buy from local vendors. We partner with local organizations. When the community thrives, our children thrive too.

How We Serve Grand Goâve

Our impact extends far beyond the children in our care.

🍚

Community Feeding Program

When there's food left over from our kitchen, it goes to hungry families in Grand Goâve — not to waste. During emergencies, we've served as a distribution point for food relief.

500+ Meals distributed monthly
💧

Clean Water Access

Our water filtration system produces more than we need. Community members can access clean, safe drinking water from our campus — a resource that's scarce in rural Haiti.

1,000+ Gallons shared weekly
🏥

Medical Outreach

When medical teams visit Brit's Home, they don't just see our children. We open our clinic to community members who otherwise have no access to healthcare.

200+ Community patients annually

Emergency Response

During hurricanes, political unrest, and emergencies, Brit's Home becomes a refuge. Our generator, security, and supplies have sheltered community members when they had nowhere else to go.
