Providing Hope For Children In Haiti

We have had our feeding program in the remote village of Massikot for nearly 7 years, and we currently feed 640 kids. The kids in Massikot have come a long way over the years, we are so grateful for the nutrition being given to so many kids who were malnourished.

We have also implemented a backyard farming and goat program for 150 families, providing sustainability and more nutrients for the village.

Drip down, O heavens, from above,
And let the clouds pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
And righteousness spring up with it.
I, the Lord, have created it.

Rosela is Zel Haiti’s Product Manager and has worked for @zelhaiti for over 3 years. She is a vital part of our team and a clear leader amongst the women. She is married with 4 children (1 not pictured).

Rosela is a very skilled seamstress and is a creative problem solver. Rosela’s husband is a local artist and between the two of them, they have been able to afford to send all four of their children to school. She has big dreams for her children. Rosela’s goal for the near future is to save up enough money to buy some land and begin building their own home.

C4C employs 160 Haitian staff, including pastors who are trained, mentored and supported to lead their communities from the stages of survival and stability to sustainability.

Pastor Anorphe and Pastor Lionel (pictured) lead the church and rural village of Massikot, the most rural village we support high in the mountains outside Mirebalais. They do an incredible job pastoring, leading our feeding and agriculture programs, setting examples for the community, supporting the needs of the villagers especially through prayer, and so much more.

We recognize their efforts and all of our village pastors and leaders in their incredible work, especially during this demanding time. 🙏

We are still conducting the nutrition program at our pediatric medical clinic every other Friday. We are following the Covid-19 guidelines, as the Covid cases and deaths are currently on the rise in Haiti.

This nutrition program is vital for the families and children we support, as many of the kids are malnourished. Nurse Nadia trains a few families at a time while maintaining social distance. Families learn the nutritional content of foods in their everyday diet and how to create nutrient rich meals. We are grateful that we can continue this program for the families that are in deep need of added nutrients and health education! 🍅🥕

• Family Friday •

Meet Elimene and her sweet family. Elimene is Zel Haiti’s employee manager and has worked for @zelhaiti as a seamstress since its inception in 2015.

Elimene is married and a mother to 5 beautiful children (2 not pictured). Her youngest is 17 and has severe special needs, but has such a beautiful heart and smile. Elimene is a wonderful mother and a hard worker.

Elimene’s husband is a well known and successful gardener in Kenscoff. Before working for Zel, Elimene sewed school uniforms from her home on her treadle machine. Elimene is so grateful for the job with Zel Haiti because it has allowed her to send her older children to the University in Haiti. She wants to empower them to have a different future than the challenging life she experienced before being employed by Zel. She brings a whole lot of joy and determination to our program!

In Haiti, these jugs are carried around to fill with potable water, but only if families have enough money for and access to clean water. Often times, Haitians have to walk a long distance to transport this water to and from their homes.

The majority of Haiti’s population does not have access to clean water and roughly 80% of all diseases in Haiti are waterborne (borgenproject.org).

C4C has distributed nearly 1,000 water bucket filters to provide clean drinking water to our 14 villages. What a difference this has made in the health and well being of the villagers we support.

Haiti’s main crop harvest is between June and Se

Haiti’s main crop harvest is between June and September. The farmers put in hard work during February and March to reap the benefits!

Agriculture employs nearly 2/3 of the labor force in Haiti, but only 1/5 of the land is considered suitable for agriculture. This creates challenges for workers and also food supply, as much of Haiti’s food is imported, leading to high food costs.

We have helped 150 families in Massikot grow their backyard farms and raise goats. We strive to continue providing opportunities like these to feed families and create sustainability through farming!

The beauty of Kenscoff, Haiti. Wynn Farm Ecological Reserve is located at 6,000’ in the mountains above Port-au-Prince just a couple miles away from our main site. They are dedicated to environmental protection through education.

This place is a true treasure in Haiti, we are grateful to be based in such a beautiful area!

Over 50% of children do not have the opportunity to attend school, as they either have no local access to school and/or their families cannot afford to pay the tuition cost for their children.

We enroll 580 students in our 4 villages schools, providing hope for them and their families and opportunities they would otherwise not have.

Contact Brie@chances4children.org for more information about student sponsorship!

Today is Mother’s Day in Haiti! Bòn fèt manman!

Haitian mothers are some of the most resilient, strong people we know. Many of them are the main cooks and cleaners at home, they care for their kids, and often have a small business on the side. They sacrifice a lot in life to care for others!

We are grateful for the strong, loving, Godly examples each of our employed moms are to their families and the opportunity they have to work to help provide for them. We also recognize the moms in our villages who do so much for their families and communities. They are the backbone of the country! 💕🎉🙏

This sweet girl is 8 years old and the youngest of

This sweet girl is 8 years old and the youngest of 5 children and her mother, Adeline, is a single mom and works as a seamstress for empowerment program, Zel Haiti. Adeline works hard to care for her kids, but has had to send multiple kids to other family members in the past since she did not have the financial capacity to care for each of them.

Through her employment with @zelhaiti over the past 5.5 years, Adeline is now able to care for her three youngest children, while the older two live with their father, so they can attend a better school. Finances can still be tight at times, but thankfully through our pediatric medical clinic feeding program, they are able to receive manna packs to help Adeline put food on the table in addition to giving her the ability to pay for her children’s schooling and other basic needs.

We've enjoyed getting to see D grow into the strong and healthy girl she is today, safe in her mama's home!

Access to medical care is little to none in rural

Access to medical care is little to none in rural areas of Haiti, making our Kenscoff pediatric clinic a prime location for families to come to from around the region. We strive to provide care to kids who would otherwise not be given treatment.

We are grateful for our skilled doctors and nurses who see about 400 patients monthly!

Bòn fèt drapo - Happy Haitian Flag Day! L’union fait la force is written on the center of the flag which means in unity we find strength.

May unity be brought upon Haiti today and the days to come, pressing on towards a future of opportunity and hope for the people. The Haitian people fought for their freedom and continue to press on daily towards better livelihoods; they are the most resilient people we know.

Enjoy the pics these cuties as they celebrate flag day!
