Our work in Haiti
A loving decision
Haitian families are strong and resilient, but due to many different factors, choosing to place their children in orphanages has been the most loving decision they’ve had to make. With rising food, fuel, and school costs, orphanages ensure they receive 3 meals a day – and an education.
Family is essential
Decades of research emphasize that family is essential to a child’s physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being. That’s why our first priority in Haiti is keeping children stable and safe with their family of origin. When that’s not possible, we find local foster families who can provide a loving home.
Your gift helps keep families together.
Equipping and empowering families, right where they are
Our goal is to equip local families to provide loving homes, so children can thrive.
Family Preservation and Empowerment
Access to life’s essentials makes a big difference for struggling families. We help families gain access to nutritious food, health care, and assistance with school fees. We equip families with vocational skills to become stronger and self-sufficient – socially and economically.
Foster Care
We partner with local churches and the government to recruit, train, and support foster families. Our goal is that no child in Haiti would grow up in an orphanage.
Help support Bethany’s work in Haiti
For families facing impossible decisions, we help them to stay together. No family should have to choose between feeding their child or relinquishing them to an orphanage. With your gift, we can change that—because children need families.
