Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage Foundation
Become a Champion for Haitian Orphans
The country of Haiti is home to hundreds of thousands of orphans; a place where only 50 percent of children are able to attend school, and where approximately 60 percent will abandon school by 6th grade.
The purpose of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Haiti Orphanage Foundation is to provide financial support for the construction and operation of an orphanage in Cap-Haitien, Haiti. The orphanage provides food, shelter, education, health care and religious instruction for abandoned or orphaned Haitian children.
We are a volunteer-run organization. 96% goes directly to the orphanage.

Our Team
The team has worked tirelessly through every obstacle they’ve faced in order to establish the foundation to raise money to care for their children who just happen to live on a distant island. Along the way they have been helped by strong support from many in the surrounding Midwest and beyond who recognize not only the importance of their work, but also the advantage of being able to give money that directly benefits the children that they care about.
Our History
A group of mothers in Muncie, Indiana, came together to form the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Foundation (OLPH) because they heard the sound of their children coming from the voices of the orphans who live in the OLPH Orphanage in Haiti. When Fr. Andre Sylvestre came and shared with them the stories and lives of the children, they felt a calling to take the welfare of these children, in part, as their responsibility.
“Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’”
