Organizations Filed Purposes: TO DEMONSTRATE CHRISTIAN COMPASSION TO POVERTY-BOUND HAITIAN CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THESE CHILDREN TO BECOME LEADERS IN THEIR HOMES, CHURCHES AND COMMUNITIES.

CHILD SPONSORSHIP MINISTRY HFHC'S CHILD SPONSORSHIP MINISTRY PROVIDES FUNDING FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED HAITIAN CHILDREN TO RECEIVE A QUALITY EDUCATION AT ONE OF 10 CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS ESTABLISHED BY HFHC IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL CHURCHES OF CHRIST. THE SCHOOLS, LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL AND WEST DEPARTMENTS OF HAITI, SERVE MORE THAN 3,000 CHILDREN (2,202 ARE SPONSORED). IN ADDITION TO TUITION, THE CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM PROVIDES EACH SPONSORED CHILD WITH A UNIFORM, A BACKPACK, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, AND AN END-OF-YEAR GIFT. EVERY DECEMBER, EACH CHILD RECEIVES A JOY BOX WHICH CONTAINS A VARIETY OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS. ALL SPONSORED STUDENTS ALSO RECEIVE ANNUAL MEDICAL EXAMS AND PAID ACCESS TO A MEDICAL CLINIC THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. MOST SIGNIFICANT THIS YEAR IS THE EMPLOYMENT OF A SCHOOL NURSE IN EACH OF OUR 10 SCHOOLS. THEY WILL PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE AND HEALTH EDUCATION FOR THE STUDENTS AS NEEDED. DURING 2020, 80 CHILDREN WERE ADDED TO THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM THANKS TO OUR CHILD EDUCATION SPONSORS AND 11 STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO PURSUE ADVANCED VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS.

ORPHAN CARE MINISTRY HFHC'S ORPHAN CARE MINISTRY PROVIDES ONGOING OPERATIONAL FUNDS TO SUSTAIN TWO ORPHANAGES THAT GIVE COMPREHENSIVE CHILDCARE TO 66 ORPHANED CHILDREN AGES 4 TO 18. THE CAZEAU ORPHANAGE, ESTABLISHED IN 1998 IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF PORT-AU-PRINCE, IS HOME TO 55 CHILDREN. THE THOMAZEAU ORPHANAGE, ESTABLISHED 30 MILES OUTSIDE OF PORT-AU-PRINCE IN 2012, IS HOME TO 11 ORPHANS. THESE ARE TRUE HOMES FOR THE CHILDREN - NOT ONLY FURNISHING THE NECESSITIES OF FOOD, CLOTHING, HOUSING, AND MEDICAL CARE, BUT ALSO PROVIDING A LOVING FAMILY. ALL CHILDREN WERE HAPPY TO RECEIVE NEW MATTRESSES, BED SHEETS, AND CURTAINS IN THEIR ROOM THIS YEAR. AT THE CAZEAU ORPHANAGE IN 2020, THE CHILDREN RECEIVED A BRAND-NEW PLAYSET WITH TWO SLIDES IN ADDITION, THEY TOOK CLASSES TO LEARN SEWING, BAKING, COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY, AND ENGLISH. A SOLAR ELECTRIC SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED AT THE HOUSE PARENTS' HOME TO PROVIDE COST SAVINGS AND RELIABLE ENERGY EACH DAY. AT THE THOMAZEAU ORPHANAGE, A NEW HOME FOR THE HOUSE PARENTS WAS BUILT ADJACENT TO THE CHILDREN'S BEDROOMS. A LARGE CHICKEN COOP WAS BUILT TO HOUSE FIFTY-FIVE HENS AND FIVE ROOSTERS. OVER 1,000 EGGS ARE BEING PRODUCED EACH MONTH TO PROVIDE PROTEIN FOR THE CHILDREN. IN ADDITION, 30 BANANA TREES WERE PLANTED ALONG WITH PIGEON PEAS. BOTH ORPHANAGES CONTINUED TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO PLANT AND TEND A GARDEN AS WELL AS HOW TO RAISE CHICKENS.

SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM IN 2020, SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS EXPANDED TO FEED ALL CHILDREN IN ALL 10 SCHOOLS. THANKS TO GENEROUS DONORS, STRONG PARTNERSHIPS, AND THE USAID DENTON PROGRAM, THESE SCHOOLS SERVE HOT NUTRITIOUS MEALS FIVE DAYS A WEEK. EACH SCHOOL IS EQUIPPED WITH A KITCHEN WHICH HAS A PROPANE STOVE, COOKING POTS, PLATES, CUPS, AND PARENTS WHO COOK. ALL SCHOOLS ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER. THERE ARE OVER 3,000 CHILDREN BEING SERVED. THIS PROGRAM MAKES A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN OUR CLASSROOMS. OUR SCHOOL PRINCIPALS REPORT THAT CHILDREN ARE MORE ENGAGED, ATTEND SCHOOL REGULARLY, AND PERFORM BETTER ACADEMICALLY. AT OUR CHILD CARE CLINIC, WE FOUND THAT THESE CHILDREN HAVE GROWN, GAINED WEIGHT, AND ARE MUCH HEALTHIER THIS YEAR THANKS TO SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS.
