Village of Hope
is a school founded by the late missionary, Carol Herget. Located in the countryside east of Port-au-Prince, its eight buildings provide 17 classrooms, kitchen, dining hall, assembly hall, chapel, library, showers and toilets, vocational school facilities, clinic/health care office, offices and storage facilities on 30 acres of land. All have been built by a combination of local funding and labor, along with Village of Hope funds and work groups. They offer ample space for educational and religious activities for the 640 children now enrolled, all of whom have access to two meals per day.

Missionary Herget had a vision born out of 50 years of service with poor children. All who have watched Village of Hope grow say what she often said, "Without the Lazarus Project's help, such great progress in so short a time could never have happened."
