Transition Support Services

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Romans 14:19

There are over 750 orphanages in Haiti, yet 80% of the children living in them have a parent or relative living nearby who could care for them if they had the right support.

Child Hope’s Transition Support Services (TSS) program works with orphanages in Haiti to help them transition from institutional care to family-based care. After an orphanage places all of its children into safe, loving families, the building can be repurposed as a community center, which can further support families and children!

MAKING THE CHANGE

Many orphanages are interested in making this transition, but are facing challenges and finding that change is not easy to implement.

Child Hope is a case study of a successful transition from institutional care to family-based care in Haiti. We are eager to share our knowledge and resources with other orphanages that, like us, believe the best place for a child to grow up is in a family. We provide coaching, mentoring, and technical know-how to accelerate the reunification processes taking place within these orphanages.

Our TSS staff also host national workshops for orphanage staff & social workers. The attendees often work with close to 50 children, meaning our workshops have the potential to impact thousands of children each year!
