Mission
To serve the children of Haiti by sustaining a safe and nurturing Children's Home rooted in the virtues of faith, hope, and love, while developing a sense of social responsibility, community involvement, and unconditional love.
About
Brit's Children's Home is a 19,000 square foot earthquake-proof facility in Grand Gove, begun in 2011 and completed in 2013. The children's home provides a nurturing permanent home for 66 orphaned children, with play space, classrooms, medical/dental clinic and a structured, supportive, culturally sensitive setting. Each year nearly 400 visitors ('Britsionarys') come to Grand Gove to conduct social projects and learn about Be Like Brit and Haiti. A major focus is home-building; to date, over 120 homes have been built for local residents. BLB also provides purified water to community residents, organizes medical and dental clinics staffed by volunteers, and participates in local cultural activities. BLB is the largest employer in Grand Gove, and is viewed by the community as a resource in times of emergency, such as hurricanes.
