The Vertile Foundation Inc

The Vertile Foundation Inc is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization established in 2010, dedicated to providing care, education, and housing for abandoned and impoverished children in Haiti. Registered under EIN 27-2077273, the foundation focuses on breaking the cycle of poverty through a combination of housing provision and educational initiatives.

Mission and Activities

The core mission of the Vertile Foundation is to offer a loving and stable home environment for abandoned children in Haiti, complemented by a school that emphasizes leadership and technology education. The foundation recognizes the severe poverty affecting Haitian children—with approximately 60% living in extreme poverty—leading to hunger, undereducation, and abandonment. By creating a nurturing home and expanding educational opportunities, the foundation aims to improve the children’s life prospects significantly[1][2].

Children’s Home

Since its inception, the foundation has offered housing, food, medical care, and counseling to orphaned and abandoned children primarily in Carrefour, Haiti. As part of ongoing improvements, the foundation constructed a new children’s home featuring bedrooms accommodating 24 children and group bathrooms. Other infrastructure enhancements include the completion of a well, septic system, and solar power installation, ensuring a safer and more sustainable living environment[1][2].

Educational Programs

In 2019, the foundation expanded its work by opening a school designed to serve more children from impoverished backgrounds. The school has grown to include nine grades since its opening and has added classrooms and capacity for an additional 100 students. Plans are underway to develop classrooms for the remaining grades to provide continuous education from first through twelfth grade. The school’s curriculum focuses on leadership skills and technology, aiming to equip students with the skills necessary to escape poverty and succeed professionally[1][3].

Development and Support

The foundation has gained support and partnerships from various donors, including a notable contribution for the purchase of a new property in a safer and more comfortable area, which features green spaces and improved facilities. This expansion supports the organization’s mission by providing a better environment for both the children’s home and the school. The construction efforts have been supported by strategic collaborations, including assistance from groups such as Engineers Without Borders to ensure the new facilities are built to high standards[1][5].

Financial Overview

As reported, the Vertile Foundation’s recent financial data shows revenues of approximately $206,000 with expenses around $152,000, leaving a net income of about $54,000 and net assets totaling over $400,000. Most revenue comes from contributions and donations supporting the foundation’s programs and infrastructure projects[4].

Impact

The Vertile Foundation’s integrated approach of providing both housing and education aims to address the immediate needs of children abandoned or living in poverty, while simultaneously creating long-term opportunities through education. Through its sustained efforts since 2010, the foundation continues to change the lives of Haitian children, offering them safety, care, and hope for a better future[1][2][3].
