From the FOUNDER
Christian faith-based non-profit organization committed to the Lord’s calling to care for orphans & widows and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the hope of breaking the cycles of spiritual oppression and poverty. In 2011, I received a calling to serve in ministry for women and children in Haiti. Answering the call was not easy as it meant leaving behind the life I knew. This calling came just six months after being baptized in Haiti while working with the United Nations mission. Despite my initial resistance, the calling was undeniable, and I surrendered to God’s calling, founding DFI as a response to His will.
When DFI’s mission began in 2012, the circumstances were very challenging. We started without any donors, sponsoring churches, or established roots within the Christian community. I was not fully prepared for this calling, but as Romans 11:29 reminds us, “for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.” By God’s grace and miraculous provision, we are persevering.
Since then, DFI has been a beacon of hope for vulnerable children and young women who have suffered significant hardship. We have provided shelter, education, spiritual counseling, and rehabilitation to vulnerable boys and girls, many of whom were living on the streets and are victims of violence & abuse. Our healthcare initiatives have helped save the lives of children who suffered from congenital heart disease through critical medical interventions. We’ve also empowered Haitian medical personnel using advanced medical education and donated equipment. Through these efforts, we are serving the forgotten in society as well as the marginalized, the broken, and the oppressed, all in the name of Jesus Christ.
As we look to the future, DFI remains steadfast in its vision and mission. We are committed to bringing hope, healing, and opportunity to those in need, continuing to expand God’s Kingdom through acts of love and service. I invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can create lasting change, driven by compassion and a shared belief that every life is precious and deserving of dignity, love, and support.
Thank you for your trust and commitment to this cause.
