THIS IS BIGGER THAN
AN ORPHANAGE.
Souf Lavi Orphanage Inc is a safe haven for the overlooked. Our concentration is children – all children, every color, every shape, every size – and our heart extends to everyone the world walks past, including our homeless neighbors. We sponsor children's education, put food and essentials in people's hands, and connect people, resources, and opportunity across borders – anchored in James 1:27: real faith shows up.
Haiti is our heartbeat – not our boundary. Souf Lavi is for all children and all people, everywhere.
A world where every child – in Haiti, in New Orleans, and in every corner of the earth – is safe, seen, in school, and knows their worth; and where no overlooked person ever stands alone. Haiti is where we started. It is not where we stop.
Food & Essential Support
Providing practical food assistance and humanitarian support to children and families connected to Haiti.
Education & Language
Educational programming, Haitian Creole learning, and children's resources that open doors and build futures.
People Across Borders
Bringing together donors, volunteers, educators, families, and supporters to create lasting cross-border human connection.
THE WORK
Education Sponsorship – Haiti
Tuition, books, uniforms, supplies, and food, so a child walks into the classroom standing equal.
Homeless Outreach – Here at Home
Meals and essentials for our neighbors living outside, because dignity doesn't stop at childhood.
Every Season, We Show Up
Back-to-school drives so kids start the year with heads held high, and Thanksgiving baskets so families eat together with gratitude.
Meet Timoun Kreyòl
Souf Lavi's children's world of songs, lessons, and books in Haitian Creole. With Ti Malis, Ti Solèy, Ti Kabrit, Tizozo, and Bèlflè, children learn colors, numbers, shapes, and songs in the language of their hearts – and see a face that looks like theirs in every story.
EVERY CHILD HAS A STORY.
And every story deserves room to grow.
