Hope for Haiti's Children

What Hope for Haiti's Children does

Hope for Haiti's Children Ministries, Inc. (HFHC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1995 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, that delivers holistic child development services to impoverished Haitian children through Christian education, orphan care, healthcare, nutrition, and spiritual training. The organization operates a network of ten Christian schools across Haiti spanning preschool through 13th grade, two residential orphanages (Cazeau in Port-au-Prince and Thomazeau), an annual medical mission clinic, daily school lunch programs (delivered in partnership with Trinity Hope), the PACES vocational-skills program, Camp Hope youth leadership camps, and crisis-relief operations. As of recent disclosures it serves over 3,000 children, employs 150+ in-country Haitian staff, and is led by Founder/President Ken Bever with a 2026 board chaired by David Browning.

HFHC's core commercial mechanism is a recurring child sponsorship program priced at $42 per month, which funds tuition, books, school supplies, uniforms, an annual medical exam, transportation, meals, and special gifts for the sponsored child. The organization emphasizes that 100% of sponsorship contributions pass through to the child with no deductions for fundraising or U.S. administrative overhead. Supplementary revenue comes from one-time donations, the Children's Food Fund, Christmas Joy Boxes, Project Hope infrastructure gifts, summer lunch program support, event-based fundraising in Dallas, Houston, and Nashville, and corporate/church partnerships including a $500,000 Kemper Foundation matching grant.

Underlying delivery infrastructure includes rainwater catchment systems deployed at schools lacking municipal water access, secure logistics partnerships (Missionary Flights International for U.S.-to-Haiti gift transport), and a growing construction program under Project Hope 2030 — a 10-year capital plan covering school facilities, classrooms, and clean-water systems. HFHC holds Charity Navigator 4-star (perfect 100% transparency), Candid Platinum, ECFA, Global Giving vetted, and Great Nonprofits credentials, and operates with a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer online donations, faith-based channel partnerships (churches as resellers), and event-driven fundraising.
