Building Haiti

One Vision International is a non-profit organization with a mission of extending aid and support to seemingly forgotten areas of the world. Our work in Haiti began in January 2009 when One Vision discovered 124 orphans living in an abandoned night club. Our plan is to build a permanent facility for these children to live, learn and grow.

    Living in Haiti

    Haiti ranks in the top places where you do not want to visit. Can you imagine living there? Many of our children have been rescued from the extreme conditions in Haiti. Our orphanage is literally their only hope.

    Collecting Supplies to Send

    One Vision International is partnering with Charter Foods in Morristown, TN to deliver a 44ft container filled with food and supplies to our home in Haiti.

    We invite you to join with us as we collect necessary items that will benefit our children and staff most at this time. All donations will need to be collected by Wednesday, January 18.
