A Legacy of Love & Hope
We are excited to announce a year-long celebration in 2025 to honor Aslan’s 50th Anniversary and the lives we’ve touched over five decades. This milestone will feature a series of special events bringing together supporters, volunteers, and families to celebrate our impact. It’s a unique opportunity for our donors to participate in meaningful ways—through sponsorships, event attendance, or contributions that will support Aslan’s mission for generations to come.
At the core of Aslan’s work is a commitment to building strong character and instilling a deep understanding of right and wrong. In Monmouth County, New Jersey, our youth programs empower young people to grow into confident, compassionate individuals who contribute positively to their communities. Through yearround support, one-on-one mentoring, and challenging activities, we help children push past their comfort zones, develop resilience, and prepare for fulfilling lives.
Our work in Haiti extends this mission by empowering families to lift themselves out of poverty and build sustainable futures. With life-changing resources such as clean water, medical care, and skills training, we help families gain independence and transform their communities. Through all our programs, we strive to educate, inspire, and nurture the potential of each person, providing a foundation for lifelong growth and positive impact.
We welcome your support!

Our Commitment
Aslan in Monmouth County
Tutoring and Mentoring: Our successful and respected program pairs volunteers with students for one-on-one academic support, helping them catch up to grade level rather than just assisting with homework. We use the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum, focusing on mastery of key literacy skills, including vocabulary and cursive writing. This approach boosts academic performance and fosters nurturing bonds between students and caring adults.
Right Choices: This character development program, rooted in Judeo-Christian values, teaches life skills and values to children facing poverty and trauma. The program encourages them to become servant leaders, make ethical decisions, and contribute positively to their communities, empowering them to overcome the long-term effects of hardship and systemic poverty.
Summer Camp: Camp Aslan offers a structured environment for continued learning and growth during the summer. Activities include field trips, arts and crafts, sports, music education, and computer science. In 2023, we introduced a nutrition education program to address food insecurity among our children. The camp also provides one-on-one tutoring to help students maintain and improve their academic skills during the break.
All of these programs are offered free of charge and include roundtrip, door-to-door transportation to ensure maximum participation. Through these comprehensive efforts, Aslan is making a profound impact on the lives
Aslan in Haiti
Aslan extends its mission internationally through a comprehensive set of community development programs in Haiti. These efforts include a fully operational medical clinic with a surgery room, providing critical healthcare services to some of the most impoverished communities. We also run an education center where adults can learn valuable trades, equipping them with the skills needed to improve their livelihoods and contribute to the local economy. Our farming and nutrition program empowers families to grow their own food, promoting self-sufficiency and better health outcomes. Additionally, our clean water project supplies safe drinking water to hundreds of families, addressing a vital need in the region. These programs are designed not only to meet immediate needs but also to offer sustainable opportunities for growth and development, helping to uplift entire communities.
