At the heart of Overture's mission is a profound conviction: that every child deserves a safe, loving home and the opportunity to thrive. Our work is centered around protecting children in Haiti by equipping families and communities with the knowledge, tools and resources to move from dependence to self-reliance. Over the past five years, we have forged vital partnerships with key child protection agencies, including IBESR (Haiti's child welfare agency) and BPM (Haiti's judicial arm for the protection of minors). Together we have strategically laid the groundwork for three core initiatives that will continue to safeguard children and build Haiti Stronger - Together!

Your donation today is not just a contribution; it is an investment in Haiti's future. We seek to raise $250,000 to fund our partner-centered collaboration focused on transforming our Les Cayes campus into Haiti's first Community Complex for Child Protection. This is a crucial step toward true self-reliance and empowerment, and this is how we will continue building Haiti Stronger - Together!

HERE'S HOW WE CAN BUILD

1. EMPOWERMENT
As part of our first pillar, Empowerment, and in partnership with IBESR (Haiti's child welfare agency) and BPM (Haiti's judicial arm for the protection of minors), we have strategically laid the groundwork for three core initiatives that will drive our work at the campus in Les Cayes to safeguard children and build Haiti Stronger - Together!
-
Reunification: We focus on moving children from harmful orphanages to safe, nurturing environments - either by reuniting them with their families or placing them in caring foster homes. Every reunification strengthens both the child and the community.
-
Reintegration: We equip vulnerable street children and their families with education support, psychological counseling and vocational training to break the cycles of poverty and achieve long-term success.
-
Rejuvenation: We empower at-risk youth, including those emerging from gang life, facing incarceration or currently imprisoned by providing pathways to reject destructive behaviors and reintegrate into society. Each success is a beacon of change for future generations.
Invest in our other essential Social Support Services
2. EDUCATION
A family's inability to pay for schooling is a leading reason parents relinquish their children to orphanages. You can stop this unnecessary breakdown of a family by supporting a scholarship for a vulnerable child.
3. NUTRITION
Programs like our Diri Lavi! food packaging program and our community farm programs are empowering Haitians every day. Your support can enable families to have long-term food security and a source of income for their families.
4. HEALTHCARE
In most of the rural communities we serve, families are unable to access even the most basic healthcare services. When you support our mobile clinics, you are ensuring families have access to quality medical care, public health education and mental health counseling.
Building stronger communities requires more than just building up the people, it requires investing in physical infrastructure to support basic human needs like homes, schools, medical clinics, community centers and more. Without these essentials, a community stands no change at fostering independence or self-sufficiency.
Your prayers have an impact!
We invite you to commit to praying every day for Haiti and its families.
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Our Work in Action - the Story of Two Sisters
A powerful example of Overture's impact is the story of Esterline (age 6) and Charisma (age 4), two sisters whose journey demonstrates the power of our reunification and reintegration efforts.
​
When their mother tragically passed away during Charisma's birth, their grieving father placed them in an orphanage, believing it was the best option for their futures. Sadly, instead of receiving the care they needed, Esterline and Charisma endured years of being starved of the love and social connection that only a family can provide.
​
When IBESR began closing the orphanage, Overture joined forces with them to ensure the reunification and reintegration process was successful. Unable to find their father right away, we placed the girls with a loving foster family. Geraldine and her husband in Les Cayes embraced the girls with open arms.
​
​
While the girls thrived, Overture continued searching for their father. After nine months, he was found, overjoyed to reunite with his daughters.
Thanks to the care of their foster family and Overture's support, the girls are now healing and thriving, surrounded by the love of their birth father and family.
This is a real-life example of how we're building Haiti Stronger - Together one child, one family and one community at a time!
