When the IDADEE Children’s Home opened its doors in 2011, one year after the devastating earthquake in 2010, these were the first children to move in. A few of them, like Emanuella, were in such poor health that the caretakers didn’t think they would survive. 

Since that day in 2011, IDADEE has grown into a blossoming community-development organization in Cap-Haitian. IDADEE’s efforts extend beyond the childrens home, to education, job training, and community health via the CHIDA hospital. The scope of work isn’t the only thing that has grown, though. The IDADEE Children’s Home is currently home to 42 growing children who have hope and opportunity because of the consistent care and support from the staff. They along with 379 students from the community, receive a quality education at the IDADEE Schools, eat nutritious hot meals, and receive support from caring teachers throughout the day.

Fast forward from 2011 to today, and the change in those first seven children is plain to see! Each one is healthy, receiving an education, and has hope for a brighter future.
