Kenbe Fem
In 2013, we took ownership of Kenbe Fem, a children's home in Jacmel that was about to close its doors. Within the year, we were able to secure ten acres of property and build a permanent home for the children. Before that, the home was paying a large amount of money each year in rent and the children had to move frequently. Kenbe Fem provides a home for 54 children. Kenbe Fem is not an institution. It is a family home. While there are staff who help with the daily care that is required by 54 children, the home is managed and cared for by house parents Frantzo and Anise. The children have nutritional meals, clean water, clothes, medical care, go to school and church, and receive love and nurturing guidance from Frantzo and Anise.

Kenbe Fem Home Construction 2014
Our construction projects in Haiti provide jobs for Haitians.
These are the faces of some of the children who live at Kenbe Fem.
It costs a minimum of $5,000 a month to run the home. This does not include special circumstances and emergencies that arise; like last year when Djovendy needed life-saving treatment after an accident caused head trauma. You can help by becoming a Kenbe Fem sponsor. Our partners at Network for Good make it simple. You can set up your monthly donation here. Just choose the amount you would like to give and set your payment method.
Kenbe Fem is more than just a children’s home—it is a beacon of hope, stability, and love for fifty-four remarkable young lives. Within its walls, each child finds not only shelter but the foundations for a brighter future. Every day, they are nourished, clothed, and cared for with unwavering dedication. Medical care is provided to ensure their health and well-being, and the opportunities for education are robust: every child attends school, equipped with the appropriate uniforms, supplies, and books necessary for academic success.
At the heart of Kenbe Fem are Frantzo and Anise, whose nurturing guidance provides the loving, familial environment every child deserves. Through their compassion and commitment, these children experience the warmth and security that a true home offers—a gift that extends far beyond the material.
But none of this is possible without the generosity of people like you. Your donations are not merely financial contributions; they are lifelines that sustain daily essentials and create opportunities that would otherwise remain out of reach. Each dollar you give is transformed into nutritious meals, quality education, healthcare, and the small comforts that turn a house into a home.
Food & Nutrition: Every child receives three wholesome meals a day, ensuring they grow healthy and strong.
Clothing & Shelter: Clean clothes and comfortable living spaces provide dignity and security.

When you choose to give, you become an integral part of each child’s story. Your kindness not only changes the trajectory of their lives but also echoes through future generations, sowing the seeds for a community where hope and opportunity can flourish. The impact is profound—children who might otherwise face uncertainty now look forward to tomorrow with promise and potential.
