MEET MOISE

In September 2004, when I was only four, my hometown was hit by a deadly hurricane. My family lost everything, and my mother, who was trying to care for ten children by herself, could not provide for us without a significant other to help. Soon after the flood, my mother learned about Danita’s Children’s Home and she saw this as an opportunity to give me a better future.

When I first arrived at Danita’s, I knew it was a special place. It was filled with joy, love, and God’s presence. I grew up as a leader at Danita’s and participated in many activities. I was a house assistant at several homes on campus for younger kids. I was also one of the leaders for the Sunday school and the Wednesday family night service on campus. 

Growing up, I was always gardening, and rescuing and caring for animals on Danita’s campus. At the age of 18, with a donation of $500, I created a small business called Roots of Hope. Ten young men under my leadership worked hard to make this farming business a reality. This project helped me discover my passion and increased my knowledge of agriculture. It taught me a great deal about managing a team, growing crops, and caring for livestock. I gained experience in entrepreneurship and agriculture.

I graduated high school in 2021, and I’ve been dreaming of attending college so I can gain the knowledge and skills to have a large and well-sustainable farm in Haiti that can produce food for Haitians and reduce the amount of production imported into Haiti. I know my desire to change the agriculture system in Haïti will be challenging but with the right education and training, I know I can drastically change lives for the better in Haiti. I am praying for financial support from generous people so I can attend college and make this dream a reality!
