Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

We can make a difference! Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere with an 80% unemployment level and 54% of the population living on less than $1 per day. Almost three out of every ten children in Haiti die before their fifth birthday.

Project Message

We can help children who have no other options with minor or major medical needs, all over the world. Join us to change a life!

updaate on Christopher

By Sonja Iribarren - Board member, October 26, 2009 10:10 AM

beautiful Christopher
Christopher, one of the children from Rivers of Hope orphanage, suffers from sickle-cell anemia. We have pledged our support to care for him over the next two years by underwriting his medical bills while he is in Haiti waiting for his forever family. We will also bring him to Chicago to consult with sickle-cell specialists to assess his condition and offer a viable treatment strategy. With your help, together we can provide hope and a better state of health for Christopher.
