Our Approach

At Emmaus House, we use a holistic approach in preparing orphaned youth to not only live independently but also to contribute meaningfully to their Haitian communities. Big picture, we believe youth are the future of Haiti. By investing in their potential, we are investing in Haiti’s future. Here’s our model for guiding our youth::

Heal from the Past

Family Homes

We believe essential life lessons are learned at home with loving parents. Strong family connections are key to successful independence, which is why family homes are the foundation of our program at Emmaus House.

Individualized Plans

Every 6 months, youth work with our staff to set measurable goals, each one moving them closer to independence and hope.

Be Equipped for Today

Find Empowerment for Tomorrow

Job Placement

In Haiti, limited social connections make finding a job difficult. At Emmaus House, we leverage our community ties to help youth secure jobs with sustainable incomes.
