2021 Annual Report

As we look back at the tumultuous year in Haiti (and the world), we are compelled to pause and give thanks for how God has sustained us. Many of us have been in lament as we pray for Haiti during these unprecedented times. God has placed Child Hope right in the center of it all, advocating for kids, families, education …

Future Hope Spotlight

“G” came to the orphanage when he was 7 years old. While living there he developed into a good student and talented musician. In 2016 he turned 18 and left the orphanage, but through the Future Hope program we continued to work with him, watching him grow and mature. When G graduated from high school and began university, he struggled …

March Workshop

Our Transition Support Services (TSS) program helps Haitian orphanages transition to family-based care. One of the main services we provide is a 2-day workshop open to social workers from across Haiti which gives a crash course in family reunification. At the end of the workshop the social workers receive a certificate of completion and have a stronger understanding of children’s …

College Students

We are so proud of these two young adults, “K” and “T”! We have had the pleasure of watching them grow up when they were living at the orphanage. Though they both turned 18 and left our care, your continued support allowed them to stay the course with their education. In June 2021 both graduated from high school! K and …

1MillionHOME Partnership

We are excited to announce a new partnership with 1MillionHome (1MH)! The mission of 1MH is to fuel the eradication of practices that separate children from permanent family and to help one million kids get home. The most effective and expedient way to fulfill that mission is to transform orphanages/children’s homes by placing an emphasis on reunification services within these …

2020 Annual Report

Last year was unreliable, unpredictable and unfamiliar to say the least. God met us in the chaos of the season and your STEADFAST support helped children and families be RESILIENT. Because of God’s provision through you, we had so much to be thankful for in 2020. We witnessed the miracles of finding family, restoring relationships, healing trauma and giving hope …

He retells it below. I arrived at Maison de Lumiere ready to meet with our new hire office administrator. I was grabbing some …

Family sponsorship is a unique opportunity to walk alongside a …

Rosaline’s Choice

As CHI began family tracing for the children in the orphanage, we successfully tracked down “Roseline,” the aunt of 4 siblings in our care. She came to visit the kids from time to time, and during that time we learned some of her personal history and built a good relationship with her. She shared that she had become very sick …
