May 2012. A village was taking shape. 💛

These photographs take us back to La Gonâve in May 2012.

Concrete being mixed.
Wheelbarrows moving back and forth.
Floors being poured and levelled beneath the Haitian sun.
People working side by side.

At the time, these were simply days of hard work — one load, one wall, one floor at a time.

But something much bigger was quietly being built.

These buildings would become places where children would wake up each morning, get ready for school, share meals, laugh, pray, celebrate birthdays and Christmases, and experience the ordinary rhythms of family life.

The story of Okipe has always been a story of people saying yes.

Mme Soliette said yes.

Others saw what she was doing and said yes too.

And, little by little, those yeses became something you could actually stand inside.

More than a collection of buildings.

A place to belong.
A place to grow.
A place to call home.

Fourteen years later, the journey continues.

Long before the children gather to eat, someone is already preparing the meal.

Behind every plate of food are caring hands that quietly serve, day after day.

Love is often found in the ordinary things.

Preparing meals.
Washing clothes.
Helping with homework.
Listening.
Encouraging.

These simple acts create the foundation from which children can flourish.

Thank you for helping make those ordinary acts of love possible every day.

Sometimes the most important thing a child can do is simply… play. ❤️

To run.
To laugh.
To make up games.
To be noisy.
To belong.

At Okipe, it can be easy to talk about the things children need — food, education, clothing, healthcare and a safe place to call home.

But childhood needs something else too.

It needs room to play.

Our new story, Come Out to Play, is a celebration of something beautifully ordinary: children being children.

And perhaps a reminder to all of us that play is never quite as insignificant as it looks.

Come out to play with us.

❤️ Meet Simon.

Simon is just six years old and already loves learning. She works hard at school, enjoys being with her friends, and is thriving in the care of Mme Soliette and the Okipe family.

Like every child, Simon has hopes for the future. Every exercise book she fills, every lesson she learns and every opportunity she receives brings her one step closer to a brighter tomorrow.

Thank you for helping children like Simon begin the school year with confidence, dignity and hope.

More Than a Uniform

A school uniform is easy to see.

What isn’t so easy to see is what it gives a child.

Confidence.
Belonging.
A sense of pride.

The quiet excitement of being ready for the first day of school.

Through our 60 for 60 campaign, we’re helping children walk into school knowing they are loved and valued.

Thank you for helping provide so much more than a uniform.
