We have a heart for helping mamas keep and care for their children, so we invest and support in the following programs because we believe (and have personally seen) they are changing lives. Thank you for your purchase, YOU are changing lives.
HAITI: The Starfish program in Haiti exists to keep families together. The program’s ultimate goal is to equip mothers who are at-risk of relinquishing their children to orphanages. Because they live in such extreme poverty, they are unable to meet their children’s most basic needs. Through this program, we focus on housing, education, employment & spiritual transformation.
HAITI: Middle Ground fights for families because we know that each family has been created by God, and it is when they are together that all of their unique pieces and talents work the best. Poverty is not a reason to separate a child from their parent, so we work hard to keep families intact and give them the tools that they need to be the very best that they can be - together!
In order to best support the families that we work with, we focus on three specific programs - malnutrition treatment, caregiver education, and ongoing sustainability - providing a holistic approach to treating and preventing malnutrition.
