Haiti Teen Challenge is proudly Haitian-led, with local staff and leaders committed to advancing a thriving, Christ-centered future for Haiti.
TRANSFORMATION OF ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE: INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, ECONOMY, AND GOVERNMENT
Expanding God's Kingdom Through Partnership
Haiti Teen Challenge seeks to be a catalyst for transformation throughout Haiti by building strategic partnerships with churches, ministries, and other Christian organizations. Through these alliances, we are committed to fully training and mentoring students in biblical discipleship, social responsibility, moral integrity, economic self-sufficiency, vocational skills, and servant leadership. By equipping individuals to overcome the barriers of failure, addiction, and sin, we are raising up leaders who will strengthen their communities, advance God's Kingdom, and help bring lasting change to Haiti.
OUR HEART IS NOT FOR HAITI TO BECOME AMERICA, BUT FOR THE MINISTRY OF HAITI TEEN CHALLENGE TO BE UNIQUELY HAITIAN AND HAITIAN LED
OUR FOCUS
Raising up a generation who will rebuild broken lives, restore communities, and display God's glory throughout Haiti
YOUNG MEN
Gang violence has displaced more than 1.4 million Haitians, leaving many young men vulnerable to homelessness, exploitation, and gang recruitment.
YOUNG WOMEN
In the midst of crisis, countless women are carrying the weight of trauma, poverty, motherhood, and survival—while still searching for hope and healing.
BETWEEN AGES 16-24
Over 70% of Haiti’s population is under the age of 30. An entire generation is being shaped by violence, poverty, addiction, and instability—yet still longing for hope, purpose, and transformation.
FROM GANGS
Armed gangs control approximately 85% of Port-au-Prince, spreading fear, violence, kidnapping, and destruction throughout Haiti.
FROM PRISONS
In Haiti, nearly 80% of prisoners remain in prolonged detention without trial or justice—trapped in overcrowded prisons with little hope for restoration, freedom, or a new beginning.
AND FROM THE STREETS OF HAITI
More than one million Haitians have been forced from their homes because of gang violence and instability.
