Give a child the opportunity for a family and a future.

Haiti

In Haiti:

Bethany has facilitated international adoptions in Haiti since 2007. We partner with God’s Littlest Angels orphanage, which provides relief aid for hurricane-affected communities, temporary care for premature babies, and child sponsorship. Haiti has many vulnerable children in need of care. We also partner with Fondation Enfant Jésus that includes a medical clinic, housing, vocational training, and psychological counseling support. We are working with several churches in Haiti to develop training and education surrounding the restavec situation. In Haiti we are working with:

  • International adoption
  • Sponsorship
  • Community and family support services
  • Skills training and education

Sponsor a child in need:

Can you extend a hand in love to
a child or family in need? Families
and communities benefit in tangible
ways from sponsorship. Through
Bethany, your money provides
direct and specific care based on
the individual needs of a family.
When you sponsor through Bethany,
you will join a group of sponsoring
individuals to provide the level of
care that is needed.
