Adoption of children from Haiti is currently unavailable due to a critical security situation. We continue to help over 900 children in our project. We will inform you about any change in the situation.
Haiti is the poorest country in South America and one of the poorest in the world
75% of the population lives from less than 1.80€ a day
Only one-fourth of the population has access to electricity
People in Haiti live in harsh conditions. They do not have a regular income to secure basic needs for themselves and their families. Some try to make a living selling candy, water, and fried food. Alternatively, they can earn by working in households of wealthier families. Many families try to find a source of livelihood by growing different crops in their fields, but the harvest is often poor. Due to a disastrous financial situation, children often come to school hungry, as their parents can’t save money. Thanks to your support, the children of Haiti have an opportunity for education and hope for a better future.

Your support is sent directly to poverty–stricken children of preschool and school age in Haiti.
The founder of the school is the local Congregation of the Little Sisters of St. Theresa, who are dedicated to helping socially disadvantaged classes. There is also a health centre and centre for children with disabilities in Rivière Froide.
Goals and activities of Little Sisters of St. TheresaThe goal is to educate children from kindergarten to the end of high school. The Sisters reject no one and accept those who do not have enough money to pay tuition fees.
Their missionary purpose is providing general and agricultural education, specialised training, courses in leading a household, health care, help to children in need, ill and elderly, organising collective farms or other forms of cooperation in society.
We would like to point out, that many children from various areas of Haiti couldn’t attend school every year, or they started school at a higher age. It is, therefore, common that a 15-year-old child attends the third or fourth grade of primary school. Consequently, older children are supported through the Children’s donation project. If you wish to support a younger child, please mark this in the application form.
