Haiti

Kids Alive International officially entered Haiti in 2002. Haiti shares the island of Hispanola with the Dominican Republic, and is the poorest and most spiritually destitute country in the Western Hemisphere. With a poverty rate of over 80 percent, infant mortality of 9 percent, illiteracy of 55 percent, and well over half of a population that practices Voodoo, Haiti is certainly a country that needs a helping hand. With the highest amount of HIV/AIDS cases outside of the African continent and a relatively low life expectancy, there are a large number of orphans who are unable to fend for themselves.

Kids Alive Haiti opened its first home in Cap Haitien, Haiti, on February 1, 2004, in order to rescue children who would otherwise have no future in a country with no social welfare system. Our vision is to raise up an army of children who will not passively stand by while the country continues to decay, but who will help guide the nation of Haiti to spiritual revival and national renewal.

Our two homes, Philip's Place and Nate's Place, are currently served by Field Directors, Tom and Helen Froese. Long-term missionaries supporting them are Jarod and Jennifer Ebenhack. Sarah Smith has recently joined the team, signing on for a two year term of service.
