Orphan Care
Hope For Haiti's Childen is committed to providing a safe and caring home for those in need. The Cazeau Christian Orphanage, managed by HFHC, is lovingly caring for the poorest of the poor, those who have no one else. One of the more tragic results of deep poverty is the inability to care for children. It is our fervent desire to build more orphanages in the future.
In Haiti, what few health care services are available are also unaffordable for most families. Hope for Haiti's Childen is providing basic medical care for our sponsored children. We believe a healthy student is a more successful student!
At our largest school in Cite Soleil, we have a nutrition program in place which provides each child a hot meal at lunch each day. Our doctors and nurses have seen a marked improvement in their health and attribute it to our food program. It is our goal to establish a food program in each of our schools.
Haiti is a Carribbean nation lying in the middle of what is known as “Hurricane Alley.” Each year they are struck by multiple tropical storms and hurricanes. As a result, there is less food, more disease, decimated villages, and thousands of destroyed homes.
Through relief efforts, homes are rebuilt, food is distributed, and assistance is provided. Compassionate people from across the United States, and beyond, donate to help with relief efforts.
