THE NEED

Prior to Haiti’s devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010, the impoverished country had 380,000 orphans - in a country of only 9 million people. With estimates well over 200,000 for those killed in the quake, those numbers will grow substantially. Will there be 50,000 more orphaned in this tragedy? 100,000? And with many of Haiti’s already established orphanages destroyed on January 12th, the need for orphan care is overwhelming. The need is NOW

OUR GOAL

The construction of the Open Door Haiti orphanage began in June, 2010 and is scheduled to be completed in January, 2011.

CHILDREN'S HOME

The Children’s Home will be built on a 5 acre parcel that Open Door has recently purchased.  DDP Architects of Orlando are drawing up plans for the project, which initially will house 50 children, with the opportunity for future expansion of a second floor to double our orphan care capacity. The Children’s Home will have a kitchen, office, laundry, staff quarters and a large gathering room for meals, study and play.
