Vwazenaj se Fanmi translates to "the neighborhood is family". Here our work begins, in encapsulating this Haitian Proverb and planting seeds of change. When well watered vines begin to bloom, the fruits needed to cultivate difference making through rich relationships are produced and sustained by the community championing the change.
Much like these passionfruit seeds or grenadya (gren-ah-jia) in Kreyol, we have watched the fruit of our labors blossom into sustainable change nourishing a community. |

IMPACT IN LOVE:Abide in Love believes that any impact made needs to be in Love. We strive to facilitate an impact at local levels through equipping Haitians to rise above the effects of poverty and to have them lead others in the ways they have learned to overcome.

Our vision is to empower and encourage. It is simple yet so profound. We want to put the power in their hands and the courage in their hearts! Envision with us helping people in ways that do not steal dignity, kill individuality, or destroy families. Help us to bless this nation in wholesome ways such as education, sharing of resources, building economic opportunities, and most importantly sharing Jesus in a relational way.
We invite you to inspire Haiti, to dream BIG with her. We invite you to partner with our impact and learn more about the beauty this land and her people have to offer. Ayiti Cheri, has so much to offer you should you open your heart and give her a chance. There is much to be learned, gleaned from, and changed in us if we allow God to use these opportunities.
