We strongly believe that everyone is unique and was born for something great on this earth, regardless of their background. We dedicate our time and all resources possible to help these kids grow beyond the mere limitation of “Poor Country”, or “Third World”, where they are living.”
Visiting Haiti has been a perspective- changing experience. For those content with letting life pass them by, they will miss out on the bigger picture-and the massive opportunities- Haiti offers. Haiti is a land of deep values. Where children are rich with potential, highly gifted, and deeply motivated. The future still shines through the eyes of every child we meet. Helping even one child plant a powerful seed with the potential to transform lives. Through our ongoing activities in Haiti, we’ve experienced a hidden side of the country- beautiful, strong, clean, and safe. Yet this Haiti is slowly fading in the hearts of children who are silently hoping that someone will care enough to help bring their dreams to life.
Each child is a mine of incredible value—more precious than gold or diamonds. The inspiration we received from a 4-year-old boy was astonishing. Watching how his young mind already embraced his future, responsibilities, dreams, and mission was truly mind-blowing. Our seminary session with the children in Jacmel was eye-opening, revealing the next generation of Haiti’s leaders, builders, and changemakers. We realized it’s not enough to give children something temporary that lasts a day or two. What they need is something lasting—something that walks with them throughout life and shapes who they become socially, individually, economically, and spiritually.
We found ourselves in the heart of a completely barricaded country—stranded in what felt like the middle of nowhere. Yet from 2013 to February 2019, our thirst to do meaningful work for the children only grew stronger, evolving into a dream that is bigger, more powerful, and more enduring. While many focus on the misfortunes of this country, we discovered mines of hidden value—proof of Haiti’s deep beauty and richness. “The country was blocked, but not our minds.” Our mission of transformation pushed beyond the limits of a restricted reality. Today, we’re proud to be shaping the future of hundreds of children. Just as a true leader doesn’t wait for a clear path, the barricades became a gift—giving us time to reflect, to dream, and to prepare for these children who were waiting for hope. They needed a new message, a new vision—proof that they are not defined by their reality, but empowered by their right and ability to choose who they want to become.
Education, meals, healthcare, meaningful leisure, and faith-based leadership development are essential elements missing in many communities—leading to a sense of hopelessness and decline. These are not luxuries, but vital needs. Our motivation is rooted in the desire to see children find a new center of gravity—one grounded in opportunity, dignity, and purpose.
For the Children
Children are the magnetic force that holds society together. As mentioned at the beginning of this presentation, they are the living vision of the future. That’s why our mission focuses primarily on them. By investing in children, we naturally impact every major aspect of society-families, health, education, and even systems and laws that shape their lives. When we center our efforts on the well-being of children, we support and strengthen the foundation of a better, more compassionate world.
To ensure our contributions align with our core values and drive meaningful transformation for children, we support a range of focused programs and activities designed to nurture their potential and shape a brighter future:
KYF Institute – Leadership and Emotional Capacity Development Center
KYF Business Center for Kids – A hands-on workshop where children develop entrepreneurial ideas, build creative skills, and practice real-world sales techniques
Community School and School Orientation Program
Family Reinforcement Program
Prevent Disasters Program
Field Trips
Vacation Bible School (VBS)
Kits Distribution
And more…
What Are We Building? The Future.
Our vision is to empower as many individuals as possible to positively shape the future of their nation. We are cultivating leaders, entrepreneurs, and social changemakers to create a lasting impact for generations to come.
We believe that without immediate action to guide, support, and provide opportunities for children, we risk a future marked by the devastating consequences of uneducated, underserved, and disenfranchised individuals whose potential remains untapped.
Building this future means fostering:
A morally grounded society
A safe and supportive environment
A renewed vision driven by responsible, forward-thinking citizens
Strong families that strengthen communities
Empowered individuals who uplift society
A wave of inspiration to bolster and unite the nation
KYF is building a new future—shaping a better tomorrow. We are committed to walking alongside children throughout their lives, contributing to the development of their inspiration, vision, and dreams. Our mission goes beyond short-term aid; we aim to nurture lifelong transformation. To make this vision a reality, we are building strong communities of volunteers, passionate staff, and dedicated investors who believe in the power of youth. This is more than a project—it’s a movement to empower the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers. Join us. Support the KYF mission. Be part of the movement that builds hope—one child at a time.
