A school provides an education to nearly 350 children and more than 16,000 meals are fed each month through the feeding program. A church and congregation of 500 Haitians provides a place of spiritual hope. Our medical center provides families and children access to quality healthcare. Doctors, nurses, dentists, and other trained medical professionals perform primary medical and dental care. The medical center is a place of hope for parents and children; each patient not only receives physical care, but are also offered the opportunity to experience the love of Christ. Currently, according to UNICEF and the US Agency for International Development, there are 149 Million orphans globally. Every day 5,760 more children become orphans. There are 300,000 children in bonded labor called restaveks or slaves in Haiti, and an additional 404,000 to 460,000 orphans. The median age in Haiti is 18 years, meaning that 50% of the population is children, and roughly 8% of those children are without parents. Danita's Children exists to answer the need for orphan rescue and care in Haiti and around the world. Danita's Children is a non‐profit 501(C)3 organization with its stateside offices located in Franklin, TN.
