The
dictionary defines
hope
as “desire with
anticipation, with expectation of fulfillment.” To the
children of Haiti
hope
is often an
unfamiliar word. They live in a world where dreams are
seldom realized and the anticipation of a better life goes
unfulfilled. At
Hope
For Haiti’s Children,
we are dedicated to bringing hope to the children of Haiti,
one child at a time.
Hope for Haiti’s Children
is a faith based, non-profit, 501-C3 organization governed
by a
5
16
Board of Directors. The organization was founded in 1995 by

bring Christian education to Haitian children. Since then
the following programs and services have been added in
addition to the education programs.
