About Us

Gabriel's Promise Haiti was a community response to watching injustice unfold around us. Our team decided that enough was enough and we needed to do something about it since nobody else was.

What emerged was a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. Gabriel's Promise Haiti is an organization driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of support.

At our core, we are a family made up of a multi-generational, multi-class, diverse team of local leaders with one main thing in common - we've taken the responsibility of creating a better community. In a place where so many empty promises have been made, we are determined to keep our promise.

Our Story

Our story is rooted in faith, and a commitment made to loving God and loving others.

In 2010 our founder Dani-Jo Hill joined a local church that supported several humanitarian efforts including partnering with an orphanage in Haiti. In 2011, she joined a mission trip to their partner church in Carrefour, where they visited an orphanage as well. During these visits the team noticed many red-flags indicating human trafficking was occurring at the orphanage.

With experience in anti-trafficking intiatives, and a deep commitment to living by her faith, Dani-Jo moved to Haiti to support an organizational effort to shutdown the trafficking operation. While the efforts to close that location were successful, her experience at the orphanage exposed her to the deep rooted extent of child trafficking in Haiti.* Closing this one orphanage was not a permanent solution. Dani-Jo realized a permanent solution had to be community based, community informed, and community supported. As a foreigner living in this community, she needed, and asked for, support to do the work she was called to do - and the community showed up.

Gabriel's Promise Haiti was born.

Ten years later, the positive impact of Gabriel's Promise (GP) can be seen and felt all around the community of Carrefour. From educational programs that support all students to overcome barriers to education, to parenting courses that seek to prevent and heal generational abuse, to our sites being places of safety, Gabriel's Promise Haiti has supported, and been supported by, the community we serve.

Our promise is to the people of Haiti.

As Dani-Jo took a leap of faith and moved to Haiti, the future initiatives of GP are also rooted in leaps of faith. With the challenges** people in Haiti face, we are seeing more of our community enter the global diaspora. GP is actively engaging in ideas and action to support Haitians wherever they may be.
