Empowering Students to Change Haiti
Caring for Kids
We've partnered with three children's homes to provide complete care for children.
Physical & Spiritual Care
Every child deserves a safe place to grow up. We provide a clean, secure, and safe environment where urgent physical needs are immediately met. This includes administering medical care, addressing malnutrition, and providing safe water. We desire for all of our kids to know the love of Christ. Every child is loved and cared for by Christian caretakers.
Sustaining Care
We believe every child deserves a quality education. PKF has partnered with Haitian educators to to build a preschool, a primary school, a secondary school, and a vocational school. All of our schools are accredited by the Haitian government and staffed by Haitian teachers. We award academic scholarships that enable students to attend local Haitian universities.
Support Children in Haiti
Through our child partnership program, you can support kids in Haiti and form a connection with a student in Haiti. Your monthly gift ensures that our partner Children’s Homes will continue to provide access to shelter, food, and a quality Christian education. We’ll also help you get to know the children you are supporting.
Children's Homes
EBAC
Nestled on the edge of Cap Haitien, EBAC is the first orphanage PKF supported. Two missionaries, Kathy and Alice, have run EBAC since the 80s. The orphanage now supports over 100 children who attend school on the grounds.
IDADEE
IDADEE was founded by young adults that grew up at EBAC; God gave them a vision for a new home that could save even more orphan children. IDADEE now cares for 42 kids between the ages of 3 and 10.

CHIDA Hospital
Heart of the Community
The CHIDA Hospital at IDADEE serves children and adults in the community. The modern 15-bed hospital provides reliable and affordable health care for all; no patient is ever turned away due to lack of finances. In its first year, the CHIDA Hospital served 9,614 patients. The hospital continues to grow in both scope of care and volume of patients. Currently, the emergency room treats an average of 74 patients per day, while the community health program serves an additional 200 people daily in the surrounding community.
This Haitian-run hospital creates a space for Haitian medical professionals and American medical teams to serve side by side. Medical Director, Dr. Wislyn Avenard, grew up at the EBAC children's home. CHIDA has created 82 local jobs and employs 30 community health workers.

There are currently 294 students enrolled in the IDADEE schools. IDADEE scholarships students who are unable to cover the cost of tuition.
The primary school opened in 2015 and has created 31 sustainable jobs. The secondary school opened in the fall of 2017.
