Sponsor a House

As we serve families through our different ministries, housing becomes a major part of what we do. With children sleeping on the dirt and parents going many night without sleep, we believe in the hope a new home can provide for a family. With strong Caribbean winds and rains the safety of these family are oftentimes in danger as well. New homes with a concrete foundation and safe roofing, provide so much hope. A new home brings peace as everyone can sleep under a sound roof; brings better health as everyone finds a way off the dirt floor; and brings hope for a safe future.

Ensuring safe housing for our families in the Starfish program and our employees at the school, orphanage and Rosie’s is so important to us. By providing a new home and ensuring the family is safe, we can then begin to focus on other areas of their life. See below, before pictures of the structures families we serve live in:

There are two blueprints we have for the houses we build. The first plan costs roughly $3,600 and is a one bedroom house with a small porch and indoor toilet.

Before receiving a new house, Jasmine was unable to provide safe shelter for her children because people had torn her tent and stolen from her on several occasions. She received a new home in February 2017 and her two youngest children are now reunited with her. She graduated from the Starfish Program in May 2017.

The second plans costs roughly $4,800 and is a two bedroom house with a small porch and outdoor latrine. We provide these homes to families with more children.

Marie Marthe’s five children grew up sleeping on the dirt ground, but that all changed when they were blessed with a new home in November, 2016. Marie Marthe says she sleeps well every night, knowing her children are safe under the roof of their new home. Marie Marthe also graduated from the Starfish Program in May, 2017.
