Over the last decade Haiti has gone through multiple natural disasters that have left thousands of children fatherless and/or motherless. These children urgently need basic things to survive like food, medical assistance, a place to live and someone to love them.
Our eyes could not ignore the sad images shown on TV. Our ears could not turn deaf to their cry for help. So our hearts became compelled to answer the calling and give hope back to these unfortunate children. That's how Gracious Hands was born.
Today, Gracious Hands is called "home" by 39 children. They feel safe, cared for and loved.
We invite you to help change the future of this children!
Gracious Hands is a 100% donor-funded orphanage in Gressier, Haiti.
We are focused on providing abandoned, abused, and neglected children food, shelter, medical attention, and support. Beyond the basic necessities, though, we aim to give these children a childhood.
Our Core Values of character, skills building, stability, and sustainability are at the center of our number one goal:
Teaching our children the skills they need to live, succeed, and change the community at large.
“Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day - teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime” Our focus is not on solely on today. We are cultivating tomorrow’s catalysts for change in Haiti
Beyond self sufficiency, our children learn community engagement, cross generational support, teamwork, self empowerment and most importantly, gratitude
Our orphanage does not employ highly compensated executives or marketing teams. Each dollar raised, partnership secured, and shipment sent, directly benefits our children. We are 100% volunteer led.
Your partnership, visits, influence, and love will transform the lives of 42 deserving children. After the unimaginable struggles they’ve endured, they need your involvement but more importantly, they need a chance to succeed.
