Protecting
Haiti's Future
2026 BI-ANNUAL VISION REPORT
Protecting Haiti’s Future
​Hope is not just a word. Here in southern Haiti, it is a daily reality being built — one family, one community at a time. ​This year, we are proud to introduce something new: our Bi-Annual Newsletter has become our Bi-Annual Vision Report. This is more than a name change. It reflects a deeper commitment to showing you — our partners — not only what has been accomplished, but what is being built for the long road ahead.
​
At the center of that vision stands the Child Protection Complex in Les Cayes. Once an orphanage, it has been transformed into something far more powerful: a Haitian-led hub for child protection, healing, and family restoration. This is what your investment looks like in practice. This is what it means to move beyond temporary fixes toward lasting, community-rooted change.
​
Today, this complex serves as a living model for what Haitian-led child protection can look like — a place designed for:
→ Rehabilitation and reintegration
→ Training for child protection professionals
→ Community-based support for education and healthcare
→ Long-term family strengthening and preservation
Every dollar you gave. Every prayer you offered. Every moment you chose to believe in Haiti's potential — it is all alive in these walls, in these families, in these futures.
​
The stories ahead are stories of resilience, restoration, and hope. They exist because you showed up. And because Haitians are leading the way. Thank you!​

Meet Medgina & Claudy
In 2019, siblings Medgina and Claudy made the brave decision to be reunited with their family, who had been relinquished to the ESPWA orphanage years earlier. They longed to grow up surrounded by the love and care that only home can provide. Their courage set the stage for an incredible journey.
Thanks to the support of Overture and generous donors like you, Medgina and Claudy's dream came true more than six years ago. They were reunited with their parents and older sister, who welcomed them back with open arms. It wasn’t easy — their family, like many in Haiti, faced significant challenges. But with the right resources, guidance and encouragement, they began to thrive.
"Reuniting with our family changed everything for us. We now have the love and support we’ve always wanted," shared Claudy.
Your generosity didn’t just bring these siblings home; it empowered their family to build a brighter and stronger future. Their older sister completed her education and became a teacher, a career that now allows her to contribute to her younger siblings' school fees. Today, Medgina and Claudy are flourishing, both academically and personally, growing up in the safety and warmth of their parents' care.
Reunification was just the beginning. Over the past six years, this family received financial assistance for scholarships, housing improvements, access to healthcare, and mentorship programs to help their parents establish sustainable livelihoods. Together, these resources gave the family the foundation they needed to create a stable, nurturing home. One where every member could thrive. This is the ripple effect of empowering families. When children are reunited with their families and given the stability they need and deserve, the impact extends far beyond one life — it transforms entire generations.
Medgina and Claudy's story is a powerful reminder of how your support changes countless lives every day. Thank you for making stories like theirs possible. Together, we are creating lasting change and building a stronger Haiti one family at a time.
We would greatly appreciate your letting others know about the amazing people of Haiti,
our work to equip and empower them and the opportunity to support it.
