Developing Leaders for the Future of Haiti

Our Mission

Providential Mentoring for Gros Marin (PM) is a non-profit organization created to help the community of Gros Marin, Haiti. PM was created out of love for the people of Gros Marin. Our mission is to enable the people of Gros Marin to combat poverty, hunger, sickness, and ignorance in their community through educational opportunities for students to quickly grow their skills and abilities to help others.

Current Challenges in Haiti

The dual crises of the spread of Covid-19 and political upheaval in Haiti have posed special challenges for our program. We are so proud of how our students have persevered despite cancelled/suspended classes, street demonstrations, widespread power outages, food shortages, and now tropical storm damage.

Here is a short video (September 2020) from Roberto Smith about the situation in Port au Prince:

Our Work

Haiti’s children lack proper education due to extreme poverty Providing a basic education is beneficial, but to create real change, Haiti needs leaders and skills that only higher education will provide.

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper and not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future.
~ Jeremiah 29:11
