Faith in Action. Hope in Motion.
Rebuilding Haiti — One Life, One Family, One Future at a Time.
Who We Are
On January 12, 2010, the earth shook beneath Léogâne, Haiti — and the Espérance family answered. What began as one family’s response to devastation became Heirs of Salvation Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the sustainable rebuilding of one of Haiti’s most affected communities.
Fifteen years later, we are still there. Still building. Still believing.
THEM
The People of Léogâne Speak for Themselves
Real voices from the community we serve — speaking in Haitian Creole with English subtitles — sharing what they need most: clean water, electricity, roads, and hope. Our founder Mireille Valmé Espérance asks the global community to listen and respond.

"They are searching for life. They are in need of their future. And with your help, their future is filled with promise. With your help, they will see their future. With your help, they will achieve their visions."
— Mireille Valmé Espérance, Founder
What We Do
01.
— Education & Literacy
We believe every person deserves the dignity of education. Our adult literacy program gives men and women the ability to read, write, and sign their own name — for the first time in their lives.
02.
— Hope Village Center
The JOEDES Development Center in Fond Jacques, Léogâne is rising as a permanent home for classrooms, vocational training, a computer lab, and a health clinic. Your gift builds it.
03.
— Youth Sports & Development
Every child deserves a field to run on and a coach who believes in them. Our sports programs channel the energy of Haiti’s youth into excellence, discipline, and hope.
Impact Stories
The Signature That Changed Everything
When Heirs of Salvation built a home for a family of eight in Léogâne, they asked to be married. Our founder Mrs. Espérance stood beside them as Maid of Honor. But when the marriage certificate was placed before them — they could only sign with an “X.” Neither could read nor write. That moment became the foundation of our adult literacy program.
Hope Village — Built on Faith, Built to Last
In Fond Jacques, Léogâne, the JOEDES Development Center is rising from the ground. Reading & Writing classrooms, a computer lab, culinary center, vocational training, and a health clinic — all being built on land purchased by Heirs of Salvation in 2011. This is what fifteen years of faith looks like.
