The HAITIAN CHILDRENS FUND, INC., founded in 1984, is a federally recognized charity to which donations are tax deductable. This group has a mirror foundation in Haiti - HAITI PROJET- a Non-Governmental Organization, incorporated by the Haitian authority as a tax exempt organization. By controlling both ends of the pipeline, we avoid many problems that exist elsewhere. Things are desperate in Haiti as the nation's basic infrastructures break down from internal, and external pressures. Inflation drives the price of basic commodities up and the loss of assembly jobs adds thousands to the already staggering unemployment rates. Run away deforestation robs the countryside of any protection against erosion. Less than one percent of the country has trees. We could show you photos of starving children in support of a Harvard study that indicates over 5000 children, under the age of five, lose their battle against starvation each month.Thousands of others, outside this age category are also lost. We believe that pictures of dying children robs them of their dignity, no matter what the rationale may be. Haiti needs all of the help it can get, NOW!! |

 We have a number of sophisticated, and unsophisticated projects underway. To make these viable we need your support in the form of cash contributions, or donations of goods and services. With the exception of fur coats and snowshoes, our organization can utilize almost anything.... so great is the need. |

We need a simple type of inexpensive solar-powered light that can charge, during the daylight, and give the peasant one small light during hours of darkness. ART- For years, Haiti has been noted for the number of world class artists it has produced. Art supplies have disappeared from Haiti and the field is dying. We need art supplies, paint, brushes, canvass.... CHRISTMAS IS COMING and we need a huge selection of simple kids gifts for little ones who have never had anything... |
