Meet Haiti's Forgotten Orphans
A bowl of rice; school tuition; a roof overhead; all these things would be out of reach for the orphans of the remote island of La Gonave if not for donations and support from people like you.
WE LOVE TO LEARN!
Anse-a-Galets is the main city on the island of La Gonave. Some of our orphans were born here or in one of the island's many small villages; scrambling over the rocky land to find work, food and shelter. Others, after the catastrophic earthquake of 2010, found their way to the island after losing everything in Port au Prince. As their numbers grow, we work harder to put food in their bellies, a roof over their heads and send them to school.
