Starfysh

Starfysh Our Vision: To see La Gonave, Haiti flourish, with healthy, prosperous, and whole communities. To make sure their water doesn’t make them sick? We are Starfysh.

We focus on Community Health, Education, and Sustainable Agriculture to uplift lives through Compassion, Dignity, and Hope—One Life at a Time. Starfysh is a grassroots movement of folks with the crazy notion that we could turn desperate poverty on its ear for a small island in Haiti that 100,000 of the poorest people on Earth call home—and restore dignity and hope to those who’ve lost both. Nothin

g less than a grand experiment in human compassion, Starfish asks, “What if a few people and organizations, in gutsy Christian response, came together in synergistic partnerships and collaboration to focus on this small island of precious people? To demonstrate to them the love of Christ by feeding them and clothing them? To restore in them the dignity that God originally created them to have? To make sure each family has a weather-tight home, a garden, and a dignified way to provide for themselves? To restore in them the ability to hope again?” We choose to rise to the occasion. And we invite you to join us.

💵 Economic Lift — Impact That Multiplies
In 2025, Starfysh infused $353,706 directly into La Gonave’s local economy.

Because money circulates many times in a small island economy, this created an estimated $530,500–$707,000 in total economic activity.

Your generosity multiplies.
