Haiti Charity Hope Foundation is a Christian 501 (c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2005, based in Central Falls, Rhode Island and Lamothe, Haiti. We want to demonstrate Christ's love by fulfilling the educational, physical, and spiritual needs of the children and the community of Lamothe. We want to bring hope and create a better future for one small village in Haiti by addressing all the challenges present in Haiti today with a whole mind/body/spirit approach.

Our goals are to:
* Share the love of our Lord Jesus Christ by supporting a non-denominational church
* Provide clean drinking water by drilling a well
* Educate children by building a free school that will be a safe and open environment
* Feed students and teach nutrition through a free breakfast and lunch program
* Heal bodies by building an affordable medical clinic
* Teach skills and create jobs through the various building projects
* Heal the environment by developing the land responsibly and planting community gardens

We pray that this may even become a sustainable program that can be emulated and supported in other communities across Haiti.

Marie Gabriel, the founder and president of HCHF accepted Jesus Christ at a prayer meeting in Haiti when she was ten years old. At the age of 15, Marie had a dream about buying some land in Haiti, but she discounted the dream at that time. She left Haiti when she was 23 years old to move to Canada, and was married while living there.

At 26, Marie and her family moved to the USA. One day she received a call from her sister in Haiti, who told her about some land that was for sale there. Marie initially said that she wasn’t interested in owning land in Haiti, but her husband encouraged her to buy it, so she did.

Three years later she traveled back to Haiti to visit the land she had purchased. It was then that Marie recalled her childhood dream of owning land in Haiti. While she surveyed her plot of land, she saw deeply impoverished children playing barefoot. Marie traveled back to America with growing desire in her heart to do something with her land that would help her people, especially the children. She felt the Holy Spirit telling her that before she could help them, the people of Haiti first needed Christ in their lives.

Marie began her mission by sending some of her own money to Haiti for food and supplies. Again, the Holy Spirit moved her to pray that the Lord would remove her shyness and teach her how to raise money for His people in Haiti. Marie single-handedly raised the money to build the church on her property, but she knew she would need to do more.

In 2005, the Lord led her to Harvest Community Church in Woonsocket, RIwhere Marie met the other men and women who would help her form the HCHF organization: David DiFilippo, Jack Hurley, Teri Glynn, and Jessica Allen. The first HCHF Mission Team
was formed after a year of prayer and fundraising. In August 2006 HCHF started the process of developing Marie’s land for the glory of God and the health and welfare of His children in Haiti.
