Mission:
Only a short 2-hour flight from Miami is the country of Haiti. Three million children and orphans are trapped at this very moment in a dismal state of poverty -- trapped deeper than any other group in the Western Hemisphere. With few advocates and no government safety net, they have little hope of freedom. Because of few public schools, less than half (42%) of Haitian children finish 6th grade, leading to a 55% illiteracy rate among adults.

Hope for Haiti's Children Ministries is a faith-based child and youth development organization which provides comprehensive care and opportunities to these poverty-bound Haitian children and orphans. Our mission is to release these young people to become all God wants them to become in the name of Jesus. We accomplish this with an innovative approach by addressing each child's unmet physical, educational, and spiritual needs in partnership with local Christian schools and orphanages in Haiti to develop a new generation of outstanding leaders in Haiti.

This is the post of a proud parent figure. I started sponsoring children with Hope for Haiti’s Children in 2006. I am incredibly proud of this young woman. I recently received word that my HFHC sponsored child, Betania Philistin, passed her National exams and completed her HFHC education. According to Google, less than 5% of Haitian children finish high school. I’ve sponsored her for 18 years and had the opportunity to meet her during the May 2019 mission trip, thanks to Sandy Swann, Jean Baptiste Chery, and the Haitian staff at Hope for Haiti's Children. I am thrilled but also a bit sad since I may not be able to follow her life anymore. I have found Hope for Haiti’s Children to be an organization staffed by selfless Christians who are loving, honest, transparent, that serve as the hands and feet of Jesus. I feel blessed to be able to support three children for school and feel comfortable every dollar I contribute is prayed over and used as wisely as possible. Betania may have completed her education journey and I’m so proud of this young woman who was born and raised in the worst slum in the poorest country in this hemisphere but I will find another child to sponsor. If you want to change a life for $36 per month, Amy will gladly match you with an unsponsored child.

We have enjoyed sponsoring a child with HFHC for several years, ensuring she has access to food, medical care, education, and knowledge of the love of God. We enjoy learning about her with the regular reports we receive. Our donation allows us to participate in preparing a future generation with skills to make Haiti a more stable and secure place to live and raise a family.

As a donor for several years I know of few groups as well organized as HFHC. Knowing the majority of my donation is going straight to the work and support of the children and staff under such difficult circumstances means everything to me and our mission leaders at the church. This organization is exceptional and is worthy of all the trust, prayers, and donations we can give them. May God bless this wonderful work!

I’ve had the privilege of being familiar with this organization for several years, including through the sponsorship of children as well as the opportunity to serve on five missions trips to Haiti with this organization. I have seen first hand the difference this organization has made in the lives of children in Haiti through education and healthcare. In a nation with tremendous challenges, it is encouraging to see the potential of children entering into adulthood and how they have been equipped to make a difference in their world.

We have sponsored the same children for years thru this organization and have seen their growth and maturity as they now approach adulthood. They have written us many notes over the years that show that they are being blessed by HFHC. I would highly recommend this to organization to anyone who wants confidence their money is being spent wisely and that they are making a difference in the life of a child.

Hope for Haiti’s Children (HFHC) is a #1 nonprofit. We have supported this nonprofit for many years through Christian education sponsorship, Food Fund, Breakfast Fundraisers, Joy Boxes, and Orphan Care. The organization is transparent and accountable for every dollar spent. Its newsletters, operations reports, and personal accounts from other donors are both enlightening and heartwarming. The Haitian-run schools and orphanage are constantly making improvements that teach a self-sustaining lifestyle and embody Christian values in everyday living. The success stories are numerous. A mission trip to volunteer in the medical clinic years ago stole my heart for Haitian children and for HFHC.

I have sponsored a beautiful Haitian child for 5 years. She is safe and well cared for in orphan care. Her yearly updates are a real treasure to me. It has been such a joy to see her grow into a kind and thoughtful Christian young lady.
It is so good to know that the staff at HFHC are committed to the nurturing and development of the children in their care. My family has been blessed to be able to have our connection to “our girl” and Haiti.

Hope for Haiti's Children (HFHC) is a wonderful organization! Through HFHC many children get to receive an education, a hot meal, and learn how to become leaders for their country in hope of a better tomorrow. As many of us know, Haiti is a difficult place right now and what better way to aid the people of Haiti than to help educate and grow the children to become leaders and to show a love for Christ. A few years before the pandemic I had the blessing of traveling to Haiti and seeing first hand the love that the local teachers and HFHC leaders on the ground have for the orphans and the children who attend the schools supported by Hope for Haiti's Children. I loved the joyous smiling faces of these beautiful kids! The leadership of this organization also loves what they do and work hard to lift these kids and help them to have a better future!

I have been closely involved with Hope For Haiti's Children (HFHC) since 2001. I have served on the board, taken around 50 trips to Haiti, and am intimately involved with those who work for the organization both in the U.S. and in Haiti. I have watched both the operations and the heart of the organization and support them 100%. They should definitely be considered a Great Nonprofit!

Hope for Haiti's Children is just the best. They provide a Christian Education and meals to so many Haitian children that would struggle if they were not there. This give these children hope to live in a country the has so many challenges. HFHC is very transparent with how all the money is used. It is obvious that the USA and Haitian staff are working out of love for both the children and God.

Hope for Haiti’s Children is an amazing organization. I have been on five mission trips to Haiti with HFHC and each time am blown away by the organization and work that is being done. They use the funds donated exactly as they promise; to build better schools and clinics, cook healthy meals, and meet the needs of the kids in the orphanages. The situation in Haiti is devastating and the people have suffered so much, but there is a undeniable hope that shines through the eyes of the children who are sponsored and cared for by HFHC. This hope would not be possible without the love and care of the staff both in the US and on the ground in Haiti. Lives of kids in Haiti are forever changed because of Hope for Haiti’s Children.

Hope for Haiti's Children opens the door wide for us donors and sponsors, and we know exactly where our money goes each month. The staff updates often with emails, social media posts, newsletters, and the most important of all—pictures and information about the children we sponsor along with drawings or notes from the children themselves.

I have also been on the ground in Haiti as a volunteer with this organization, so I have seen firsthand the difference they make in each child's life. Not only does the staff take care of their physical needs with the lunch program, school uniforms and medical screenings, but they also feed them mentally, emotionally, educationally (they run several schools), and spiritually.

The children of HFHC look different than the typical children on the streets. They smile, and they are healthy. They will make a difference in Haiti's future.

Hope for Haiti’s Children is really making a difference! I have been a child sponsor since 2008 and have watched my sponsored children go through school and grow into amazing young people. My oldest just graduated this past year so I signed on for another child who is in pre-k. I love to see the photos and receive letters every year. The financial accountability and transparency is top notch! I know my donations are carefully spent and the board and staff prayerfully steward all they receive.

I have volunteered with Hope For Haiti’s Children for 14 years and have sponsored children for longer. This organization helps children by providing Christian education, healthcare, and food. Our Joy Box project provides each sponsored child a box full of Christmas gifts that are likely the only gifts they will receive at Christmas. These boxes are packed by churches all over the U.S. I have coordinated the project for many years and have had the great blessing of going to Haiti to distribute the Joy Boxes. Seeing the joy and happiness on the faces of these beautiful children when they receive these gifts is an experience that cannot be surpassed.

I am so thrilled to partner with an organization that is so transparent. It is wonderful and reassuring to know that funds given go primarily and majorly to Haiti and to help children and those taking care of children in Haiti. Our church and myself both partner with the organization and it’s been impactful to us and a blessing to be part of the work that God is doing through them.

I have been sponsoring children through HFHC for twenty years. I had the joy of going on their January trips starting in 2004, and went every year until Covid shut us down. I have personally seen what this organization does for these children, giving them an education so that they have the hope and opportunity to rise above their circumstances. I have watched these kids grow up to be leaders in their communities. Preachers, doctors, nurses, policemen, teachers. They never would have been able to do that without the sponsorship program provided by HFHC. I have also witnessed first hand how meticulous HFHC is with their funds and donations. Their focus is the children and it is evident in all that they have done. Even now, when things are so unstable in Haiti, HFHC continues to keep their schools and churches open for the sake of the children. This organization is a true blessing to Haiti.

My husband and I have sponsored several children through Hope for Haitis Kids. We have supported the work that has and is being done through this program. We currently sponsor two precious boys.
We are impressed with how the children’s physical needs are met along with their spiritual needs.
We are very well informed about our kids, how they are progressing and where our money is being used to care for them.
We are very thankful to be a part of this work and would encourage anyone to take part in showing the love of Jesus to these children. More sponsors are needed!

My husband and I have been blessed to work with Hope for Haiti’s children’s ministries for several years now. We sponsor two children and feel blessed to be able to do so. Hope for Haiti’s Children ministries has done so much to help the children in school and in the orphanages and we feel it’s the best organization for us to support. We also helped to fill Joy boxes to be given to the children at Christmas. It makes our hearts swell when we watch the videos and see their happy smiles and the joy on their faces when opening the boxes! As you can see, it’s hard to not overfill them when you know the kids are going to have fun opening them! Please consider donating to this wonderful organization! You will be blessed!

My journey with Hope for Haiti's Children began on my quest to meet one of our precious sponsored children. In 2016, my husband and I began sponsoring one of the Cazeau orphans knowing only a few pieces of her story. The more I learned about her story I knew I had to go meet this sweet little girl and let her know how much we loved her! In 2017, we went on our first trip to Haiti as part of the annual child care clinic team. It was an exciting moment to meet our sponsored child for the first time, and our bond has only grown since then.

We have returned to Haiti several times as part of the child care clinic, with my love for these kids and HFHC [this ministry] growing more and more. We have been able to develop stronger relationships with the Haitian staff and be an encouragement to them. We have seen firsthand the “teach a man to fish” in action – with the gardens, hatchery, and tilapia tank on the HFHC property.

It is amazing to see the transformation of the property but, more importantly, to see the transformation of the children and the community.

I am excited to see what the future holds for Hope for Haiti’s Children. I pray that we can all continue to be a part of helping bring hope to these precious children.
