CaringHands International is a start-up nonprofit organization that will capitalize on humankind’s potential to do good in the world. With an open heart and a solid moral, spiritual, and educational foundation, this international Organization strives to protect the most vulnerable members of society by ensuring that these individuals have access to housing, education, and care. The Organization will begin operations by working with orphaned children in the Caribbean; however, it will also provide accommodation and outreach to disadvantaged elderly individuals.
In long-term, CHI intends to work with impoverished populations worldwide. But it will not stop there. CaringHands will honor its sustainability mission by staying in touch with the children it helps. Actions like this and other measures we take will sustain the progress made by CaringHands over the child’s lifetime, elevating its position as a multifaceted social agency.
While the exact number of orphans in Haiti is unknown, UNICEF estimated in 2007 that more than 380,000 children were parentless. “One-quarter of Haiti’s vulnerable children have lost one or both parents,” reports Family Health International. “The remaining 900,000-plus are children in female-headed households, fostered children, children in institutions, children living in families with an HIV-positive adult, HIV-positive children, street children, child laborers, and others … These children suffer higher rates of mortality and malnutrition. Fewer are immunized, and many must drop out of school.”
Devoted to strengthening communities, eliminating poverty, and providing assistance to those in need, CHI is proud to launch its first permanent facility in the Caribbean. CHI will not only provide housing for orphaned children. Still, it will ultimately provide a facility that functions as a community center to support 250 to 300 children daily. CHI will provide its full-time residents with a place free from drugs, juvenile delinquency, and disease that can impair their development within the community. The Organization will provide moral, spiritual, and educational guidance to children, helping each find their way to living a happy and productive life. The following describes the Organization’s services in more detail.
As the most crucial part of CHI's mission, the Organization will provide onsite education for kindergarten through 12.
To ensure all children, the facility will have an onsite clinic offering medical emergency assistance.
CHI will have a reliable crisis prevention center for counseling, mentoring, and interventions for distressed children.
To create well-rounded adults and encourage each child to reach their full potential, CHI will offer best activities and resources.
Children residing with CaringHands International will learn how important it is to give back to their communities.
We will make sure that every children has a safe place to sleep, and they get sufficient food and clothes.
A small contribution from you can help us to support many children, and eventually let them grow into dynamic minds.
