Welcome to the
Haitian Timoun Foundation

CULTIVATING HOPE.
TRANSFORMING LIVES. 

What does it take to change the trajectory of poverty in Haiti? It takes a grassroots movement toward action with passion, energy, and an audacious commitment to empowering others to create a life of independence.  

At the Haitian Timoun Foundation, we help Haitians break free from poverty by providing life-giving investment and empowerment to write a new story. Working with trusted local partners in Haiti, we help fund and support programs that encourage and empower its people to create lasting, generational change.   

At HTF, we are called to nourish the human spirit in Haiti and help pave a pathway so all Haitians feel valued and thrive!

Yvrose’s Story:
A tenacious woman of Haiti 

Imagine going from having absolutely nothing to building your own home and earning over $600 in less than 18 months. That’s what Yvrose experienced! 

Your investment helps empower women like Yvrose to rise up from ultra-poverty to poverty by providing a sturdy home and sustainable income for her family. Before joining the Chemen Lavi Miyò  (CLM) program, Yvrose lived in the kitchen of a church with her husband and three children. Upon entering the program, Yvrose and her family were provided supplies to build a small home and latrine, a small weekly stipend, assets of Yvrose’s choosing to begin a commerce. She also received a health card and ongoing mentoring from a case manager. To graduate the 18-month program, she had to build a secure home and start a small, sustainable commerce that enabled her to feed her family two hot meals each day. Yvrose now has a thriving business selling handmade snack foods thanks to her determination and resilience, and the encouragement received from her dedicated case manager. This is what a transformed life looks like in Haiti!
