Provide a safe home for Haitian Orphans

Your generosity has kept the kids at HTDC safe when a hurricane hit Port au Prince. When cholera struck, your donations bought the supplies to keep the kids from getting sick. Every single time one of the kids has needed a doctor, you’ve been there with them providing the funds they needed to pay the fee. And because of all your gifts, today each and every child at the orphanage is thriving.

Today, GlobalGiving is making those gifts work even harder in service to the kids at the orphanage. By matching your donations by 50%. 

That means that, today only, your donation of $20 will put food on Carol’s plate for a month!

We can’t tell you how much your generosity has been appreciated, and we hope that you realise how important you are for the kids at the orphanage. We hope you’ll keep giving what you can so that we can ensure that the kids keep thriving and grow into Haiti’s next generation of leaders.  

If you’re able, please give $20 so that we can keep Carol and all the kids at the orphanage fed, happy, and healthy! 

Thanks so much, and our very warmest regards from Port au Prince! 

Spring has sprung, and things at HTDC are busier than ever.

The orphanage’s directors are working hard to find the funding they need to build a new permanent home, but in the meantime they still need you! With your fantastic support, we’ve been able to pay the rent. That means that the orphanage has a safe home until November of 2014! We’d like to thank each and every one of your for your incredible generosity.

However, after paying the rent we only have two months of running costs left. That means that without your help, we’ll run out of funding for food, water, school, and health care in July.

Happily, GlobalGiving is here to help us raise what we need! This mother’s day, when you donate to support Bodlyson and Kenson in your mom’s honour, GlobalGiving will top up your donation by $5 and your mom will receive a beautiful card. Click here to give your gift.

If you’re not in a position to give again this mother’s day, you can still help secure food, education, and health care for Bodlyson, Kenson, and all their friends by sharing this link with friends and family. 

Thanks so much for all you’ve already given, and our warmest regards from Haiti!

All 27 children at the HTDC orphanage are doing what they do – thriving!

The kids recently had their Easter vacation, and they loved their time off. Like many kids in the US, they enjoyed Easter egg hunts, a special meal, and attended mass.

Now, it’s back to work at school for the final semester of the 2013 school year. All of the kids are doing well in school thanks entirely to you! Your donations provide teachers, school supplies, and, when needed, extra help. Thanks so much for all you’ve given!

Your support not only meets the kids’ day-to-day needs – it also gives the directors the ability to plan for the future. The orphanage directors are not content to continue living in the rented house you’ve helped them secure – they have a piece of land and they’re planning to build a whole new structure. We’ll keep you updated as these plans develop.

Thanks again for all you do, and our warmest regards from Haiti!

With your support, the kids at the HTDC orphanage are learning fast. They love school, and the older kids delight in helping the little ones learn their letters and numbers.

But it’s not just about schoolwork at the orphanage. Haiti recently celebrated its major yearly festival called carnival.  The staff marked the event with a party – and the kids all dressed in costume! They had an absolutely brilliant time.

Without you, the children and staff at the HTDC orphanage would spend their days worrying about where their next meal was coming from instead of deciding on the best costume for carnival. Your generosity makes all the difference.

Tomorrow, GlobalGiving will be matching all donations by 30%. That means that tomorrow, if you give just $23 you could feed all 27 children in the orphanage's care for a whole day.

We hope you’ll help provide a secure future for the kids at the orphanage by making a donation tomorrow. If you can’t give, we hope you’ll share this link with friends and family and let them know how easy it is to change lives in Haiti!

Thanks so much for your support, and we wish you all the very best!

It’s already February and the kids at the HTDC orphanage have had a great start to the year. They all did great in their recent progress exams and they’re planning field trips for the summer.

Their success and bright outlook for the future is all down to your generosity. Without you, they would be spending their days worrying about where their next meal was coming from instead of playing with their Christmas presents!

This Valentines day, we hope you’ll keep the kids in mind by making a donation in honor of your Valentine. When you make a donation, your Valentine will receive a beautiful card which makes a lovely, meaningful Valentines Day gift.
