The Atrelle Orphanage in Haiti
Haiti is one of the most densely populated and poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. The region of Atrelle, Haiti, where Prosper Genestant was born and later founded the Christian Assembly of Ravine-Generale Church in 1972, is a desolate mountainous area with no infrastructure and severely inadequate water and sanitation facilities. Despite this, Pastor Genestant was passionate about education and opened a school and Atrelle Orphanage in 1976, which now houses approximately 180 children. After his passing in 2010, his son Quincy Genestant and school director Iveles Dominique continued his mission. Quincy's future vision for the school includes providing the children with access to playground equipment, periodic medical clinics, scholarships for continuing education beyond the 6th grade, and maintaining the school's facilities.
The Passion for Haiti Foundation is committed to the long-term success of the Atrelle children, and the organization's plans are dependent on funding. By investing in education, basic needs such as a daily meal, and healthcare, the foundation aims to empower the children to realize their full potential and contribute positively to their communities.
