Safety and security don’t just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.
Hope Haven ensures that the basic needs of at-risk children in San Pedro, Belize are met. We provide a warm meal and safe bed for kids to sleep at night without distraction or worry. Our people are struggling to make ends meet. Most families are one emergency away from losing their homes or falling into major debt. Together with the San Pedro Food Bank we will be able to provide assistance to low-income families with the basics they desperately need.
Hope Haven's fostered children will receive individual and group therapy. We desire to develop relationships beyond our doors through family therapy as well. Hope Haven has emergency placement and outpatient counseling for domestic abuse victims, mental health services, play therapy and educational services for the fostered children. In addition, Hope Haven will house the SHINE Center, which will focus on the empowerment of at-risk youths.
A major focus of our work is helping children overcome their educational setbacks and feel encouraged to succeed in the classroom. We focus on the basics: Math and Reading Enrichment. Daily educational services for our fostered children help them to catch up in school and feel prepared. Daily reading time helps our children grow emotionally and spiritually while teaching them valuable lessons.

Hope Haven is a not-for-profit organization. We receive less than 10% of our income needs from the Government of Belize; therefore, we are dependent on the generosity of individuals and companies who share our passion in caring for God’s Children.
