Child Hope International started as an orphanage in 2004 and helped hundreds of children by providing meals, a home, education, and other needs. But there was one need the orphanage couldn’t fill - the sense of belonging which is only experienced in a loving family. Today, Child Hope International is doing orphan care differently. In 2017 they shifted their model to family-based care and began reunifying children with families. In 2021 they launched the Transition Support Services program, helping other Haitian orphanages transition to family-based care.
