About Us
OUR MISSION IS TO TRANSITION ORPHANED
YOUTH INTO INDEPENDENT LIVING IN HAITI
In Haiti, children who grow up in orphanages and child servanthood systems are often forgotten once they age out at age 18. When released, these youth often lack the education, life skills, and emotional maturity to live a functional life of independence. As a result, many orphaned youth are left to the streets and turn to crime or prostitution to alleviate their poverty. This leads to a higher society crime rate, breaks down the family system, and contributes further to the orphan crisis.
There is one God, creator and sustainer of all things. God reveals Godself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, eternally One in every way. We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, and it is our final authority for all matters of belief and life. We believe in salvation from sins through death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe in the abundant life both now and eternally through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. All Emmaus House staff and board members uphold these beliefs and we instruct our youth in the ways of Godly living.
