Operation Hope for Haiti

Make a Targeted Difference

Operation Hope for Haiti’s objective is to make an intentional, strategic difference in one devastated area of community in Haiti, thereby setting a model for others to follow. Through World Vision, this project in the City of Hinche will help minimize future flooding through interventions such as the installation of watershed walls and reforestation as well as provide cash-for-work opportunities. Building on World Vision’s holistic model, these measures will complement ongoing work around food security, education, and health. 7,500 families will benefit from this partnership.

Call to Action

The severity of the conditions in Haiti calls for a unified response from our community to assist the country to rebuild and move towards self-sufficiency. Be a voice for the voiceless, making every effort to bring resources to the desperate people who are suffering in silence. Change a community in Haiti.

Sponsor a Child

In September 2008, Haiti was struck by successive hurricanes devastating an already fragile country. Many of the affected were children already living in a precarious situation. As part of Operation Hope for Haiti, a goal has been set to sponsor 500 children in the communities surrounding the city of Hinche. Families in this area live on .68 cents per day. Chronic malnutrition threatens the most vulnerable including children under the age of five.

In the Okodem and Akodet Area Development Programs, child sponsors can make a real and lasting difference. Through Operation Hope for Haiti:

Change a child's life.

Your monthly contribution provides basics such as clean water, improved nutrition, and quality health care to help your sponsored child thrive.

Transform a community.

By combining sponsorship gifts, we are able to provide long-term resources for lasting change--such as flood prevention and replanting, community water wells, health education, and income-generating opportunities that benefit your sponsored child and their family, the community and other children in need. You may communicate with your sponsored child, send birthday and holiday cards and receive letters from them. Annually, World Vision sends a progress report and updated photo of your child.

Thank you for giving generously. Together we will make a difference.
