About Us
Haitian Children’s Home (HCH) is an organization located in Jacmel, Haiti that was established in 2006. HCH has adopted a unique model for its children. Rather than being run as an orphanage, the children live in a family environment where the Directors of each home fulfill the roles of parents. The children learn to interact with each other as brothers and sisters. Since HCH has successfully created a home for these children, they are not available for adoption. The home is also unique as it is one of the only facilities in Haiti that accepts children over the age of 5 years old. Most organizations only accept children under the age of 5 as they are less likely to suffer from histories of abuse that will result in emotional issues. However, HCH targets those children who have the greatest need for a home, often based on their past history.
It is the focus of the organization to raise children within the Haitian culture, equipping them with the education, skills and spiritual foundation necessary to become Christian leaders in their community. The long term goal of HCH is to raise children that will affect the future of Haiti. The organization is changing Haiti, one life at a time.
