Since the church was first built in 2003, our campus has grown to include a boys dorm and cafeteria (right),
a school building and playground and soon, our new children's medical center.

Our Current Project
a Hospital of Hope
the Children's Medical Clinic
There is a crisis in Haiti when it comes to adequate medical care for children. As the photos on the left illustrate very clearly, local clinics are unable to provide appropriate medical care in this, the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Currently, thousands of children are dying from preventable diseases and for our region, adequate hospital care is a three and four hour drive to the Dominican Republic.
The HIV/AIDS crisis in Haiti is growing and contributing to the orphan crisis. And, most recently the loss of one of our children, Rose Carline to tuberculosis, the nearly fatal illness of Robenson, and several other serious medical needs with our children, has increased our determination and resolve to quickly provide a place of hope for children with medical needs.
This November, we broke ground for a state-of-the-art pediatric medical center which will provide much needed free, life-giving healthcare to our children, and children in the surrounding region. The focus of the clinic will be pediatrics, centering on treatment, education, and prevention. 
The 16,000-square-foot building is planned to provide examination rooms, surgical facilities, a laboratory, a pharmacy, optical and dental care facilities. The third and fourth floors will provide facilities to house our medical staff, mission teams and guests. Our hope is to utilize solar energy to provide electricity.
Volunteer architects, engineers, medical professionals, doctors, construction experts and others (as seen in photograph) have been working hard this year to complete the plans and work out all of the details. Bob Miller of R. Miller Architecture in Orlando has spearheaded the surveying, architectural plans and engineering efforts. You can imagine the enormity of a project this size - much more complicated than the construction of a school building and much more expensive. We are very excited to complete this project, but we need YOUR help to do it!

Are you a medical professional?
If you or a team from your church or community would like to volunteer for a medical missions trip, please contact us for more information. Teams are organized throughout the year for medical and dental missions. Importantly, when the children's medical center is complete, there will be a constant need for medical professionals, pharmacists, labaratory experts, nurses, opticians, and more! French, Spanish, and Creole speaking volunteers are especially helpful. Long-term, short-term and mid-term volunteers will be needed to help care for the enormous number of children we anticipate will need our help.
Future Projects
Before one project becomes a reality, we're on to the next. We believe in the vision that God has set before us. There are several projects up ahead. Visit our Future Projects Page often to see what's next for Danita's Children and the Hope for Haiti Children's Center.
