What Love A Child Inc does

Love A Child Inc is a Florida-domiciled Christian nonprofit organization founded in 1991 by Bobby and Sherry Burnette, who first visited Haiti in 1971 and have lived there for 35 years. The organization delivers comprehensive humanitarian services to the poorest communities in Haiti through an integrated portfolio of programs including an orphanage/children's home, a school serving 1,600 children, large-scale feeding programs, three medical facilities (Jesus Healing Center Clinic, Malnutrition Center, Birthing Center), mobile medical clinics, an Agricultural Training Center (ATC) with over 50,000 Moringa trees planted, prison feeding programs serving approximately 1,000 prisoners daily, disaster relief and Gabion housing, churches, a Christian radio station, and a planned $1.7M solar power conversion of its operational village.

The organization operates from a U.S. headquarters in Fort Myers, Florida and a main operational compound in Fond Parisien, Haiti, with additional regional hubs in South Haiti (Anse-à-Veau and broader South Haiti operations). It collects revenue entirely through voluntary charitable donations from individuals, churches, and institutional sponsors (notably Joyce Meyer Ministries - Hand of Hope and Life Changers International Church), accepted via an online donation portal, phone, and mail. Marketing and donor acquisition are driven by television programs broadcast on Daystar Television Network, DIRECTV, DISH Network, and Christian Television Network, supplemented by YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, and email communications.

Love A Child holds ECFA accreditation, Charity Navigator four-star rating, Best in America certification, and the Candid (GuideStar) Platinum Seal of Transparency (2025). The business model is a direct-to-donor humanitarian ministry combining physical aid with spiritual evangelism; no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capabilities underpin operations, and no revenue or financial figures are publicly disclosed.
