Maison Fortune Orphanage






Children at Maison Fortune Orphanage

Maison Fortuné Orphanage is located near the city of Hinche in the central plateau region of the impoverished country of Haiti.

Founded in February of 2000 the orphanage is now home to more than 130 orphaned and less fortunate children in the area. Referred to in Haiti as kokorat or grapiay (a Haitian term meaning "leftovers"), some of the children now living at the orphanage had simply been left to live in the streets. Providing the children with food, shelter, clothing, and an education, all in a loving Christian environment the orphanage has given each of them a safe alternative to living in the streets where many of them probably would have died.

There is an old Haitian proverb that says, "What the eye does not see, does not move the heart". It is with that in mind that this web site was launched. Not only to help keep those involved informed of the progress being made at Maison Fortuné Orphanage, but with the hopes that it may also move the hearts of others.
