Davie, FL – Fredline Ciril is the founder of House of New Vision and Hope, a faith-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting disadvantaged children in the rural population of Haiti by providing them with education, nutrition, and life skills necessary to better their future. With the help of our sponsors; House of New Vision and Hope pays for these children to attend schools and provides them with all their school supplies, books, uniforms. They also feed them one meal a day.

What began in 2016 with just six children has since grown to 35 sponsored children. The children range in age from five to 13 years old and for many of them this is the first time they have gone to school.

“We're trying our best to help these families and to help these children,” said Mrs. Ciril.

“When you're on summer break all you talk about is the school year, what you did in school, what grade you're going to next. I realized none of those kids could tell us anything about school,” recalls Mrs. Ciril. “They'll tell you, ‘Oh, I didn't go to school this year. My mom didn't send me." The story was the same every year. I always said, ‘When I grow up, I'm going to build a school in Mornet.’”

And Mrs. Ciril is doing just that. This year, HNVH’s goal is to open a school in the area to serve more children in need and it will all be free for all of them. HNVH now has 60 children on its waiting list. Sponsorship is only $25/month or $300/year.
