ABOUT US
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
The United States Foundation for the Children of Haiti was established in 1981 to help fundraise and support organizations in Haiti that focus on education, family development, and healthcare.
Over the years, USFCH has evolved from supporting one children's home to now providing support to three schools, two children's homes, a full-service hospital, and an organization that employs over 200 Haitian staff. We have a strong mission to work with only Haitian-run and Haitian-led organization that has a well-established presence in Haiti.

Our Mission Statement
The Mission of United States Foundation for the Children of Haiti (USFCH) is to share Christ’s love by partnering with Haitians to make life-changing opportunities available to vulnerable Haitian youth and families.
