The House Mom’s and therapists ensure that residents are involved in a range of activities consistent with their capabilities. Several Hope Home residents attend a special education program at the elementary school in the Children’s Village.

In order to enhance the level of care offered at Hope Home, the Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti (“CFCH”) arranges work teams consisting of medical professionals experienced in caring for people with special needs. The teams work with the residents, develop care plans, provide training for House Moms and therapists, and maintain the special needs equipment used by residents.

CFCH provides wheelchairs, stretchers, medical equipment, communication devices and supplies needed by Hope Home. Each resident has a wheelchair or stretcher that has been modified for their special needs. A number of residents have motorized wheelchairs, giving them the gift of freedom and independence they never dreamed possible.

Hope Home is a truly amazing ministry in a poor country like Haiti, where needy children with disabilities usually suffer greatly. The dedication of the staff in Haiti, donors in North America, and volunteer workers has transformed the lives of these children in a dramatic way.

Despite the challenges faced by the residents, Hope Home is a very happy place!
