why it matters
oban, Haiti
Oban is a beautiful community tucked in the mountains of Haiti. This is where Tony and I were baptized together by the village church leaders.
Because of your art purchase, sponsored students are able to help their community move toward a sustainable future and community graduation.
It means that future generations would be able to run successful businesses and make enough money to feed their families and send their children to school. With your help, it means they can now help their community lift themselves from poverty, restoring dignity, purpose and freedom.

our mission
In 2014, Tony and I went to Haiti for the first time on a mission trip to offer helping hands in the village of Oban.
Hurricane Matthew violently struck Haiti resulting in the country’s largest humanitarian emergency since the 2010 earthquake. It caused extensive flooding and mudslides, damage to road infrastructure and buildings, as well as electricity and water shortages.
our story
Schools & Economic Development
The southern peninsula is one of the primary agricultural producing regions in Haiti. Many of the farms in the South were washed away by the rising tides and the extreme flooding. In addition, thousands of animals – chickens, goats, pigs and cows – perished in the storm. Much of Haiti depends on the agricultural production from the South.
By restoring economics quickly and allowing people to sustain themselves without the need for an extended handout, we believe we can stem the tide of dependency on foreign aid.
All of the network schools are severely damaged and not functional. Community leaders recognize the need to keep children on track with their education and get them back into a routine.
The problem, however, is more than classrooms. Many families lost everything. That includes clothes, school uniforms, books, and supplies. Those families have no capacity to pay school fees because they lost their crops and livestock. Your donations will go towards the rebuild of schools and the economic development for the village.
"For it is in giving that we receive."
St. Francis of Assisi
