Children’s Nutrition Program of Haiti

What Children’s Nutrition Program of Haiti does

Children's Nutrition Program of Haiti (CNP/Kore Timoun) is a Chattanooga-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1998 by cardiologist Dr. Mitchell L. Mutter to prevent and treat child malnutrition in Haiti. The organization is operationally headquartered in Léogâne, Haiti, and serves vulnerable children under five, pregnant and lactating mothers, and families across the Léogâne and Grand-Goâve region, a population of over 500,000 people. Its service mix spans community mobilization, growth monitoring, and therapeutic/clinical care, delivered through the internationally standardized Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) framework: an inpatient Nutritional Stabilization Unit in Petit Goâve for severe acute malnutrition with complications, an outpatient therapeutic program with ready-to-use therapeutic food rations, a supplementary feeding program for moderate acute malnutrition, and a Positive Deviance Hearth (Ti Fwaye) behavior-change intervention.

The underlying delivery platform is a community health worker model: 30 monitrices (local women trained as community health workers) conduct home visits, malnutrition screenings, and health education, supported by 93 Mères Lumières volunteers who detect severe malnutrition in their neighborhoods. Services are delivered through 15 outpatient clinics (one permanent in urban Léogâne, fourteen mobile in remote areas) and a government-partnered stabilization center, with 93% of staff being Haitian nationals living in the communities they serve. The organization co-delivers programs with the Haitian Ministry of Health (MSPP) and the Haitian Prime Minister's office, and partners with international NGOs (Meds and Food for Kids, Vitamin Angels, Living Water International, Outreach Haiti), Rotary clubs, and local church networks. No proprietary technology platform, digital health system, or AI tooling is described; the model is fundamentally human-delivered.

The revenue model is a hybrid of unrestricted individual donations (processed through a DonorPerfect donation portal) and restricted institutional funding from foundations, charitable trusts (Maclellan, Harris, Fleta Ricks Walls Family), and faith-based partners (multiple Presbyterian churches). There is no commercial pricing; services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. The organization discloses 2024 operational outcomes including 16,034 children screened, 472 children treated for severe acute malnutrition, 624 treated for moderate acute malnutrition, 89 stabilized at the inpatient unit, 1,856 maternal screenings, and 15,423 home visits, with 2025 screening volume rising modestly to 16,136.

Core offering

CNP Haiti is a nonprofit humanitarian organization that delivers community-based child malnutrition screening, prevention, and treatment, alongside maternal and child health services, to vulnerable Haitian families. Its core offering is the integrated Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) program — inpatient stabilization, outpatient therapeutic feeding, supplementary feeding, and growth monitoring — supplemented by the Positive Deviance/Hearth behavior-change model and direct services from a network of community health workers (monitrices).

Product overview

CNP Haiti operates a unified community health platform focused on child malnutrition prevention and treatment. The core programs include Growth Monitoring (monthly screenings and vitamin supplementation), Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM with three treatment tiers), Positive Deviance Hearth (community-based behavior change), and Maternal Health services. These programs are delivered through a network of 30 Monitrices (community health workers) conducting home visits and screenings, supported by clinical services including a government-partner stabilization center and 15 outpatient clinics (1 permanent, 14 mobile) across Léogâne and Grand-Goâve regions. The integrated approach combines community-based prevention with facility-based treatment for severe cases.
