Dominican Republic & Haiti
Life • Family • Righteousness
We see a future where children who were once vulnerable radiate hope and reflect God's love and splendor to others.
Our mission is to establish Three Trees as a vital organization within the border communities of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. We focus on providing essential shelter, care, and support to children and teenagers who have left or been removed from their homes, and consequently, find themselves in vulnerable situations. Collaborating closely with local authorities, we are dedicated to ensuring their safety, addressing their risks, and working tirelessly to establish lasting solutions.
-
Home in Jimaní
Located in the border town of Jimani in the Dominican Republic we have a home for children and adolescents in need.
-
Home in Fonds-Parisien
On the Haitian side of the border a home for adolescent boys that have been displaced from their homes
-
Transition Home
You can’t age out of a family, this is a place for our older teens as they move into adulthood and towards independence
-
Emergency Shelter
In the DR we coordinate with local child-welfare to provide a safe place for kids in urgent and emergency situations.
-
Haiti Youth Shelter
Life is difficult for many pre-teens and teenagers in Haiti. Our shelter provides an overnight respite for boys sleeping on the streets.
-
Border Office
A future goal is to establish an office at the border to meet kids, identify other needs, and intervene as soon as possible.
We laugh and cry together, get into disagreements, have to lovingly discipline, celebrate the good times and grieve together when there is heartbreak, go on vacations, and make them do their homework. Parenting is no easy task, but there’s nothing we’d rather do than raise these children.
Imagine a 12-year-old boy leaving behind everything he knows on whispered promises of what is possible on the other side of the border. He isn’t seeking wealth and fame, but the most basic of needs like food and shelter; and for those that dream bigger, hopes of an education.
