The Rèv Home: helping kids dream again
Through our Haiti associate Amber Hasson, we walk alongside a family of kids, teens and young adults in Port-au-Prince.
From a safe home and a good education to college and their first jobs, the Rèv Home helps young people grow, heal and dream bigger than poverty’s obstacles.

From flood and earthquake to a family
In 2016, Amber took responsibility for 36 kids and teens in Port-au-Prince. Most had lost their homes in a major flood in 2008, moved to Port-au-Prince, and then lived through the trauma of the 2010 earthquake.
When we learned of their situation, the Rèv Home was founded. Many changes have taken place since then, but one thing has stayed steadfast: Amber’s commitment to helping these kids and young adults succeed in life and, most importantly, love God.

THE REV STORY
In 2016, our Haiti associate Amber Hasson took responsibility for 36 kids and teens in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Most had been impacted by a major flood which wiped out their homes in 2008. They moved to Port-Au-Prince, only to experience the trauma of the 2010 earthquake. When we learned of their situation in 2016, the REV Home was founded, inspired by the Haitian Creole word for dream.
Over the last 6 years, many changes have taken place, but what has remained steadfast is Amber's commitment to helping these kids and young adults succeed in life and most importantly, love God. Read on to meet each group of kids or young adults who come together to form REV.
The seven younger kids who are still in Rev Home live together with our Haiti Associate Amber. They still need the structure of a home as they each have at least 7 years left with Rèv. Many of these kids struggle with school due to various learning difficulties, but Amber is ready to help them through any challenges they may face. We are thankful for the opportunity our Rev Home kids have to attend a great school, where they are able to get a quality education for their futures. 2 of the kids are homeschooled to better accommodate their learning needs.

REV Graduates
Some of our Rèv graduates are in college and continue working at the Rèv Café. Past sponsors have come alongside some of these hardworking graduates to help pay for college courses. They are now full-fledged adults and are no longer part of a residential Rèv program.

Rèv graduates have gone on to start three ministries of their own in Haiti.
Rèv United
Founded by Rèv graduate Ludjer, Rèv United is a community soccer team. Its motto, “viv rev nou,” means “living our dream.” Gifts help cover player fees, food and water, and equipment.
