Our Mission

Our mission is simple - change children’s lives through compassion, action, and sustainable support.

From Hardship to Hope

Our mission at the Children's Village Foundation and Cares (CVFC) starts with the straightforward realization that Haitian children endure some of the worst living conditions in the Western Hemisphere, and they are entitled to better.

Many Haitian children are raised in areas with limited access to clean water, underfunded or nonexistent schools, and distant hopes for healthcare. Natural disasters, political unrest, and extreme systemic poverty have all contributed to the creation of a precarious environment in which the most vulnerable are frequently overlooked.

By making investments in kids, paying attention to communities, and providing dependable, caring assistance that addresses actual needs, we hope to change that.

Working directly with Haiti’s most impacted communities

We exist on the front lines of care, working directly with Haiti’s most impacted communities.

Through our facility on the outskirts of Cap-Haïtien, we provide children and families with the essentials: food, clean water, clothing, and a safe environment to heal and grow.

Every effort we make is grounded in the belief that each child deserves a chance to move forward from hardship toward a future filled with possibility.

Our Approach

A sustainable model for long-term change

Real change begins with connection. By working alongside local families, teachers, and community leaders, we ensure every effort lasts beyond the moment.

Our programs focus on direct impact — every meal, every class, and every safe space created is a step toward a stronger, self-sustaining community.

Education

Scholarships, daily meals, and direct support for schools supply children with the tools and stability they need to learn and grow.

Community

Families and trained community members come together through events, workshops, and programs that build a supportive network where children and families grow stronger together.

Your Role

When you support CVFC, you’re not just giving charity — you’re offering dignity. You’re saying to a child in Haiti: I see you. You matter. I believe in your future.

Together, we are rewriting what’s possible.

Your contribution directly funds the essentials that transform children’s lives: nutritious meals, clean drinking water, educational materials, safe housing, and community programs that keep families supported and connected. Every dollar is put to work where it counts most: ensuring children can grow up nourished, educated, and surrounded by care.

Beyond immediate aid, your support helps us invest in long-term stability — strengthening schools, training local caregivers, and building the foundation for a safer, healthier, and more hopeful Haiti.
