Our Mission History Management Milestones Our Mission Chances for Children provides hope for the children of Haiti.....one family at a time. Widespread poverty, economic turmoil, and violence in the streets, cripple any chance for a productive future for the children of Haiti. Due to extreme poverty many parents are forced to abandon or relinquish their children because they do not have the ability to feed, care or educate them. There is currently an orphan epidemic in Haiti - the mission of Chances for Children is to help solve this problem one child, one family, one village at a time. We work to identify orphaned or abandoned children who are victims of severe poverty and neglect. Our first task is to return these children  to good health with proper nutrition and medical  attention in a supportive environment that is conducive to their emotional and physical development.    We also believe that the answer to Haiti's orphan epidemic is not just adoptions.  Chances for Children works with a number of different localized groups within Haiti to proactively address this problem with a variety of programs:   Building schools in rural villages to provide an education to a large majority of the children who live there. A water program which provides potable drinking water to villagers. Nutritious meals to the children who attend our village schools. A micro credit program aimed at mothers who can use their skills to start small businesses to help support their families. An agricultural program is just beginning to help provide food for the many villagers who simply do not have the means to feed their children. Join us as we attempt to give these children a chance. A chance for a future. A chance for a better life. General Objectives (a) To support the Crèche de l'Enfant Jesus in Ti Mache, Haiti , which houses children under the age of six until they are adopted (b) To support the adoption process of these children by interfacing with the families and adoption agencies (c) To increase public awareness of the orphan epidemic in Haiti and as a result of this increased awareness expand the network of people who are willing to help solve the problem (d) Work with governmental and civic leaders in Haiti to improve family planning initiatives in the country (e) Work with local groups to expand the services in the community where the orphanage is located.
