Financial Accountability

Yes. We are a Christian organization. Please see our statement of faith.

Great question. Here’s a video to help explain why Danita felt called to Haiti almost 3 decades ago.

Currently with the political situation in Haiti, we are not having teams or visitors like we did in the past. Once the current situation changes, we will once a gain open visitors. Please check back as the situation in Haiti may change.

Bottom line – the children. Whether that is in our homes and special need home, at our school or at the hospital, all gifts make an impact.

It is 8 acres. Here we have a church that can have over 500 people in the center of our campus, along with the 6 homes, including the special needs home, school, and hospital that serves both our children but the surrounding communities which allows us to show the Love of God to all that enter our campus.

At Danita’s Children, we follow the biblical directive to rescue, love, and care for vulnerable children. We believe that when we do, we are following Christ’s commandment and are acting as His hands and feet. We believe it is not just the responsibility of those who are called to full-time ministry to be concerned for orphans, but that it is the responsibility of all believers and Christ-followers.

We hope that you will choose to find a way to bring hope, care, and love to vulnerable children, whether it’s in your community or across the globe; whether it’s with Danita’s Children or another reputable orphan care organization. Your involvement, at whatever level, will make a difference.

Adapted from Tom Davis, author Fields of the Fatherless.

1. God calls Himself the Father of the fatherless. Psalm 68:5, “A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, is God in His holy habitation.”
2. God considers caring for orphans to be pure spiritual service. (and) a religion that does not care for orphans is no religion at all. James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.”
3. God’s people are commanded to care for orphans. To see an orphan afflicted, and to turn a deaf ear, is sin, even rebellion. Exodus 22:22, “You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.” Isaiah 1:17, “Learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.” Isaiah 1:23, “Your rulers are rebellious, and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless.” 
4. We can be the hands and love of Christ Himself by providing practical care. Deuteronomy 10:18, “He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing.” Psalm 10:14, “But You, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.” Matthew 18:5, “Whoever receives a child in My name, receives Me.” Matthew 25: 45, “Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these, you did it unto Me.”
5. Orphans are to be taken care of with the same honor and provision as a Pastor or Priest. Deuteronomy 14:28-30, “The Levite (priest), because he has not portion or inheritance among you, and the alien, the orphan and the widow who are in your town, shall come and eat and be satisfied, in order that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.”
6. A portion of all that we possess is sacred and belongs to the orphan. Deuteronomy 26:12-14, “You shall say before the Lord your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and also have given it to the Levite and the alien, the orphan and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed or forgotten any of Your commandments.”
