“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” - MLK

“65% of the Haitian population lives below the poverty line...only 40% of children have access to health services...only half of all children are enrolled in primary school.” - Humanium.org

Poverty, leading to little to no access to proper nutrition, education and health care, has harrowing effects on the children and families of Haiti, often separating children from their parents.

We believe the answer to Haiti’s orphan epidemic can be solved by strengthening communities and families.

Here is a peak into what a Sunday service is like in our Gonaives church in the North!

We praise God for the growth in the church both physically and spiritually.

The local church is the main foundation for all that we do in our 14 villages.

11 years ago, more than 250,000 Haitians were killed and 300,000 were left injured.

Every Haitian can remember exactly where they were when the hardest earthquake to hit the region in 200 years struck. Most Haitians were directly effected or knew of someone effected by this natural disaster. Thousands of cement structures crumbled on top of people.

This disaster added to Haiti’s decades of political, economic, and social setbacks and inequalities. Despite efforts to improve the country’s situation, Haiti has continued to suffer and corruption runs rampant.

We remember this day and honor those who lost their lives. We pray alongside those who continue to hope and strive for better futures. The strength of Haitians cannot be matched, they continue to fight for a better Haiti.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.” - Romans 12:2

We are reminded, especially during times like these, that those whose hope is in God is not of this world, or its patterns. May we find great comfort in this, and seek what God’s will is as we pursue justice and peace. 🙏💛

Day after day, we commit to strengthening communities and families, one child, one family, one community at a time. We believe sustainability is possible for all 14 of our villages, and we will continue to work to improve these villagers’ lives through agriculture, medical care, education, local churches, feeding programs, women’s empowerment programs, and more.

One of our medical clinic nurses, Nurse Marie Yolaine, recently got married! Congrats to this beautiful couple.

We are incredibly thankful for Nurse Marie Yolaine’s hard work and the loving care she gives to hundreds of children and families that come through our clinic.

May God bless your journey ahead together!

We are overjoyed that L, who was in our crèche for a few years, is now home with his forever family!

This little guy has taken quite a journey and is truly a living miracle.

He was near death when we first met him in our village of Model, as he was extremely malnourished and underweight.

He was brought to our crèche where he was nourished, loved on, and cared for by our nurses, nannies, and staff.

We praise God for the joyful, healthy boy L is today and the gift it is for him to live his life with so much daily hope and opportunity with his forever family. 💛

We have added 50 new families to our backyard farm

We have added 50 new families to our backyard farming program in Massikot, providing seeds for new gardens and goats for each family.

We have also built a goat shelter to keep the male goats safe as well as a year’s worth of vaccinations and vet care for each family. We are paying 2 agronomists to manage our greenhouse, distribute plants, and help families plant and maintain their gardens.

We would not have been able to continue this sustainability work without the incredible support we have received from our year-end donors and purchases from our holiday gift catalog (link in bio).

A special thank you to the Martin Family Foundation, the Kaphan Foundation, and the Fluherty Family for their significant donations to help us continue these efforts through 2021.

We give all the glory to God for the ways He is providing for the families in the villages we support!

We gave a huge shout and thank you to Blake for collecting and sending over 500 pairs of shoes to Haiti and raising nearly $1,700 for C4C, we are thankful the shoes are now in Haiti!

The kids are so grateful to now have new shoes to run around the crèche in, and for school and church. 🙏

Happy New Year! Blessings to you all in the year ahead. 🎆

216 years ago today, Haiti revolted against French rule and became the first independent black nation. Today we celebrate the New Year as well as Haiti’s freedom. 🎉

We pray this year for provision over C4C, peace over Haiti, for mission teams to be able to visit the country again, and most of all for lives to be saved for eternity. ✝️

As we wave 2020 goodbye, we reflect on the challenges, heartache, and loss from the hardest year we have faced. But we also reflect on growth that came from this year, the hope we have, and the opportunities to come.

Haiti has seen increased unrest for more than 2 years, less work opportunities and higher costs of goods this year, and more widespread hunger. But God continues to go before us and provide for over 7,000 kids in our care, and we trust that He will continue to provide.

What has 2020 taught you? What are you looking forward to in 2021?

Cheers to a New Year!

The crèche kids and staff celebrated the birth of our Savior with music, yummy Haitian food, and gift opening this past weekend! We loved seeing how special our staff made this Christmas celebration for the kids.

We are grateful for the gift donations we received, the kids could not have been happier to receive gifts picked out specially for them. 🙏

As we near the end of 2020, we want to tell you all THANK YOU for blessing C4C and over 7,000 kids across Haiti with your prayers and support. We would not be able to care for and provide opportunity to these kids and employ 160 Haitians without you.

It is not too late to get you tax deductible donation in before the end of the year, check out the link in our bio for our Holiday Catalog or visit chances4children.org/donate to help us continue our work into 2021.

Bòn Fèt M!! This sweet girl turns 7 today!

M is the life of the crèche, and brings joy to others with her bright smile. M is smart, social, loves to sing, and loves fashion!

M has come such a long way since her arrival at the crèche, as she had some health conditions. But she is all healed up now and as lively as ever. We know that she has a bright future ahead of her. 💛

“For there is no such thing as “inevitability” for any human phenomenon if there are enough people who oppose it.” - Paul Hoffman

This is where you and I come in. Poverty is never inevitable for anybody, but there must be people willing to step in to help eradicate it. May we be willing to be those people!

Every person is a person. In other words, everyone deserves to be treated as a valued human being. ⁠
⁠
In Haiti, 74 out of every 1,000 children die before age 5. Only 28% of the population has access to basic sanitation services. 40% of the population is drinking untreated water sources and 40% of people live on less than $2 a day. These statistics have worsened the past 2 years as the political and economic crisis deepens and life has become harder for every person in Haiti.⁠

Thank you for joining us helping provide essentials and opportunity to thousands of kids and families across Haiti and sharing with them that they are treasured by God.

We were able to give a year-end bonus to each of our 17 teachers and 4 school directors in our 4 village schools! They have worked hard this year teaching a total of 580 students, even giving homeschool projects to kids for a couple months when the kids could not attend school due to Covid.

We have seen a significant decline in the value of the dollar, putting an extra financial strain on our organization and staff. This bonus is a blessing for our teachers, especially during this time. 🙏

430 boxes of food (equivalent to nearly 93,000 meals) are being delivered today to our 4 remote mountain villages in the South to feed a total of 1,500 kids!

We are also sending food for our family hurricane relief program, which helps families greatly affected by recent hurricanes that have swept through Haiti.

Praise to God for His continued provisions for the village children and families we support! 🙌

May we remember and reflect on the meaning of Christmas this week. God sent a miracle to this earth in the form of His Son to later pay for the sins of the world. ⁠

What a wonderful week it is for us to celebrate Jesus' birth!
