The majority (approximately 80%) of the children in "orphanages" in Haiti are abandoned by living parents; many are exploited sexually as well as physically abused in other ways. Many donations intended to help children in Haiti actually turn into supporting that abuse by funneling money to people running the orphanages, rather than supporting the children by equipping their parents to care for them.
Children with exceptional needs suffer even more; they are often considered cursed and even more frequently abandoned.
The center being funded by this appeal is specifically not an orphanage, and equips parents and foster parents to care for children, caring for the whole family, biological or otherwise.
