Over the years, HCH has seen hundreds of children come through our doors, some to be cared for until they are matched with an adoptive family, and many others until they are strong and healthy enough to return to their Haitian families. We are a faith-based mission and funded by various North American churches, friends, and family, as well as the Haitian Children's Aid Society, a charity registere
d in both Canada and the United States, which support Haitian organizations. HCH currently has 16 children in our care ranging in ages of 2-15 years of age. The children are cared for by an amazing team international staff who serve as administrators, nannies, cooks, teachers, activity facilitators, security guards, etc. This is the smallest number of children we have had in care for many years, as we have diligently worked to strengthen our family support programs and facilitate care for children within their family structures. Haiti Children's Home is licensed to do adoptions in Haiti, and currently is working with Canadian and American agencies to match adoptive families with children needing a family. HCH is also blessed to be able to facilitate a number of other programs to support and empower our community, such as the formula program, which provides formula to at-risk families each week, as well as medical care and education as needed. There is also a nutrition program, which provides outpatient treatment for children who are malnourished, and assists children needing specialized medical care. Our most recent program is an educational support program, where we seek sponsors to assist community children to attend school, meeting another specific need in our community. All of these programs have grown over the years, allowing us to support families in crisis, and provide supportive options for families instead of taking children into permanent care.
