Did you know that over 30,000 children in Haiti are living in orphanages? Or that 80% of those children are not “true orphans” and have a parent or relative living nearby? Children are separated from their families and placed in orphanages for many reasons, but poverty is the main factor.
Imagine the decision a family has to make: place your child in an orphanage that promises three meals a day, medical care, and an education, while grieving not being with your child, or continue to struggle to meet their needs, unsure of the future.
What do you choose?
At Child Hope International, we believe in the strength of families. While many organizations offer child sponsorship, our focus has evolved to family sponsorship, supporting entire families holistically so they can stay together and thrive in the long term.
Your US church can partner with us to provide specific training, social work guidance and pastoral care to Churches in Haiti around the topic of family-based care.
The current crisis has created unique needs. Donate now to provide rapid response for families in this unprecedented time in Haiti.
By becoming a Hope Partner with a monthly gift, you will help children transition out of orphanages and back into families.

Our social work team hosted a training day for parents in our Family Sponsorship program in Port-au-Prince. This was the first time we offered this training to parents, though we have previously trained Haitian social workers working in orphanages. Because this training was designed specifically for parents, the content needed to be practical and easy
