After the earthquake in 2010, the need to provide education and orphan care increased dramatically in Haiti. Many children were left without parents and many more were left with parents who no longer were able to provide for their children’s basic needs. BMSEH established the Isaiah Children’s Home in Jacmel, where children could be provided clothing, nutritious food, and an opportunity to further their education – all in a loving and caring environment.
In August of 2017, the Isaiah Children's Home was relocated to Guitton Archaie. The new location enables the children to have improved living conditions in a safe, rural environment. The home is located 25 miles northwest of Port au Prince, the nation's capital. 23 children currently reside at Isaiah Children's Home.
