Our Story


AID International Inc. began with a simple but powerful act of compassion: opening a family home to children in need. In 1996, Dr. Marlaine and Daniel Alix welcomed the first children into what became their first children’s home, transforming a three-bedroom home into a place of safety and care.

As more children arrived, the effort quickly grew: first one home, then two, then three, eventually supporting hundreds of children across multiple homes.

Recognizing that long-term change required more than residential care, the Alix family founded AID International Inc. in 2001 to address the systemic challenges facing families and communities in Haiti.

Today, AID International focuses on strengthening communities through education, healthcare, agriculture, and economic empowerment, partnering with local leaders, educators, medical professionals, and community organizations to deliver programs that strengthen families and build long-term resilience.
