FRIENDS OF LAVIC IS AN OPERATING PROJECT OF JOY TO THE WORLD FOUNDATION.
Who We Serve
The Orphanage
- There are 12 precious children living at the Orphanage. By supporting Friends of LaVic they receive, food, clothing, education, medical attention and are being disciples to follow Jesus. There is a faithful 4 member staff on site caring for the children through your support as well. To sponsor one of the children for $60 monthly please click on the Donate button below choose Orphanage from the drop down designation box.
The School
- Most families in Haiti cannot afford to send their children to school. Because the Olive Foundation School is funded by donations to Friends of LaVic the School is able to provide an education free of charge. The School is staffed by six teachers and a Principal. The cost to provide each student with a uniform, a hot lunch in addition to their education is $30 a month. To underwrite one student’s education monthly click on the donate button below and choose "School" from the drop down designation.
The Community Of La Victoire
- Countless children roam the streets with little to no guidance. Their laughter and joy hide their empty stomachs as many of these families have little to no consistent food. Our team member, Troy Stocker, has started raising the support he will need to be a full time worker with these children. He will seek to disciple children in the community with the goal of providing nutrition through weekly Bible programs and training for locals to expand the gospel to the least of these. To partner with Troy in his ministry to these children please click on the Donate button below and choose Troy from the drop down designation box.
Who We Are
Jim and Bonnie Binning
During our many trips to Haiti we have developed a wonderful relationship with Pastor Aculas Hilaire of LaVictoire, Haiti. We have a growing desire to help raise support for his desire to improve the lives of the children and their families in that area. In order to accomplish this goal, we are inviting you to join with us as “Friends of LaVic“.
We believe God blesses us, not so that we can have more, but so that we can give more.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope."
Jeremiah 29:11
Aculas and Elianie Hilaire
Aculas and Elianie have two beautiful sons and a thriving ministry which includes two chunches besides the Olive Foundation Orphanage and School.
God has given him great compassion for the people of LaVictoire and surrounding area. He has vision and faith to carry out the gospel and see Christ's Kingdom expand through preaching and serving these people.
But I am like an olive tree thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.
Psalm 52:8

And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you. I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the feild abundant, that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.
