Kids of Maison Fortune Orphanage January 2010

 

Maison Fortune Orphanage is located near the city of Hinche in the central plateau region of the impoverished  country of Haiti. Founded in February of 2000, orphanage is the result of a remarkable Haitian man named Lefort Jean-Louis and his long-held vision to help the people of Haiti.

The orphanage is now home to more than 130 orphaned and less fortunate children in the area. Often 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 Maison Fortune 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 already involved informed of the progress being made at Maison Fortune Orphanage, but with the hopes that it may also move the hearts of others.
