Children walking together along a rural path in Haiti

Sponsor a child

Child sponsorship is a way to support a child's education, healthcare, nutrition, protection, and community support in Haiti.

Child sponsorship supports the five areas a child needs to grow

What a sponsor's support can contribute

Sponsorship is one way to support children's education, healthcare, nutrition, protection, and community support in Haiti. Each of these five areas stands beside the others: a child learns and grows within a community that surrounds them with care.

COTEDIH works alongside communities, religious and public institutions, humanitarian organizations, and national and international partners. A sponsor's support joins that local work, helping children and the communities around them.

Five areas a sponsor's support can reach

Child sponsorship in Haiti can contribute to a child's education, healthcare, nutrition, protection, and the community support around them.

Education

Support can contribute to a child's education, helping learning stay part of their days.

Protection

Support can contribute to a child's protection, keeping their wellbeing in view.

Community support

Support can contribute to the community support that surrounds a child in Haiti.

Responsible giving

Support that stays rooted in community

Sponsorship is one way to stand behind a child in Haiti. Before you give, you can learn how COTEDIH works and ask how your support fits the needs around that child.

COTEDIH is a Haitian humanitarian and community development organization, founded in 1987 in Les Cayes and officially established on October 20, 2005. Its work supports vulnerable people and communities throughout Haiti through humanitarian assistance, community development, and sustainable development.

Children within their community

A child does not grow apart from the people around them. COTEDIH carries out its work alongside communities, religious and public institutions, humanitarian organizations, and national and international partners — so sponsorship reaches a child through the supports already around them: family, school, health services, and the wider community.
