Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti

Making a difference one child at a time.

Welcome

The Foundation for the Children of Haiti (FCH) is a Christian organization providing physical, emotional and spiritual care to needy children in Haiti. Since 1981, FCH has been changing lives by living out our motto “Making a difference… one child at a time.”

My Dear Friends,
With the recent news of the chaos in Haiti, I thought it would be good to provide you with an update.
The current situation is the worst I have ever seen in Haiti. Over the past few weeks, the criminal
gangs that have terrorized Port au Prince for the past 3 years have started working together to
consolidate their power.
Groups of heavily armed gangs (better armed than the Haiti police) have taken over Port au Prince.
The gangs are burning police stations and other public facilities. A couple of weeks ago gangs
attacked Haiti’s main container port and the international airport (which remains closed). They then
broke into two prisons allowing over 4,000 prisoners to escape, putting many very dangerous
criminals on the streets. The vulnerable population is running in all directions seeking safety, but
nowhere is safe.
With the resignation of the Prime Minister earlier this week, the gangs now want to take control of the
government. This is worse than anything we have previously faced or feared.
Thankfully, despite the chaos, the children and staff at FCH are still safe, through God’s grace.
The area of Delmas – where the hospital and the Village are located – has remained mostly
calm, despite some random shootings.
The staff at the Children’s Village are doing what they can to make life as normal as possible
for the children at the Rainbow of Love and the residents at Hope Home. Many teachers are
making it to the Children’s Village School so classes continue, although neighbourhood
children who attend the school are not coming due to the danger in leaving their homes.
Hope Hospital staff are working hard and keeping the hospital open.
C-Tech and the Mussotte School are located in southern Haiti where the situation is safer. The
students there are doing well, and classes have not been interrupted.
We are keeping our eyes on the food shortage, trying to buy as much as we can of what we find.
The current challenges in Haiti seem insurmountable, but we are not losing hope. We are
taking life one hour at a time. We know God is in control.
Thank you for your prayers. Please pray that we will have the strength we need to keep going in the
face of the turmoil and terror.
With love,
Gladys

1. Gladys and the staff ask that you pray for the safety of everyone at FCH, and that peace
would be restored to Haiti.
2. With the gangs controlling the supply of all goods, there are widespread shortages, and prices of
daily necessities are exorbitant. It is critical that FCH have funds available to purchase
supplies as they come available, so financial support is greatly appreciated. (Donations can
be made through our website: https://cfchcanada.ca/ )
3. To encourage Gladys and her staff in the midst of the turmoil, please send a short message of
support and encouragement to info@cfchcanada.ca and we will pass on your message.
