Earthquake resistant:
Laboratory tests carried out showed that
the structure withstands, with no damages, strains greater

A home not only gives these people protection from
the elements but it improves their self esteem and more importantly
it brings hope. Home ownership provides families a sustainable home
and gives children a save place to grow up. Hope Housing Caribbean
is the first step to change their lives and gives them hope for
a better future.
After the construction we will work with our local
Community partner to continue with support in education and community
development. We believe that a house is a first step towards a better
future.
Mission Principles:
1. Demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ.
Homes of Hope Africa desires to demonstrate the love of Jesus and
to be the “hands and feet” of that love to our local
Haitian Communities.
2. Focus on housing.
Hope Housing Caribbean we believe will manifest God’s love,
to create opportunities for all people to live in decent, durable
homes We put faith into action by helping to build, renovate or
restore homes, and by partnering with communities Hope Housing Caribbean believes we can provide affordable housing as a foundation
for breaking the cycle of poverty.
3. Affordable housing.
In response to the prophet Micah’s call to do justice, to
love mercy and to walk humbly with God, Hope Housing Caribbean
looks to promote decent, affordable housing for those most needing
it throughout the Africa. We hope to advocate for justice and fair
housing policies to eliminate the constraints that contribute to
a shortage of housing within the Haiti.
4. Promote Hope.
Hope Housing Caribbean believes that no one lives in dignity until
everyone lives in dignity. We believe that every person has something
to contribute and something to gain from creating communities in
which all people have decent, affordable places to live. We believe
that dignity and hope are best achieved through home ownership and
community responsibility.
5. Support sustainable and transformational
development.
Hope Housing Caribbean seeks to transforms lives and promote positive
lasting social, economic and Spiritual change within a community.
This is often best achieved through fully shared accomplishments
gives residents a chance to fully develop.
