Djovany was brought to Chances for Children by his birth mother. She had no hope for him when she came to us. She was diagnosed with HIV a month before his birth. She knew that to preserve Djovany’s life, she could not breast feed but yet, she wanted to keep him with her. She tried for five months to keep him healthy but could not do so. When she finally brought him to our orphanage, he was dehydrated and malnourished. We started him on the infant version of Medika Mamba and look at him now, at seven months of age! Once he is healthy enough to sustain solid foods we will be sending him back to his mother who is doing well with her HIV treatment plan.

Medika Mamba is creole for peanut butter medicine and is an energy dense peanut butter that is significantly fortified with protein and nutritional supplements. This product both helps children battle the serious effects of malnutrition and provides jobs to peanut farmers in Haiti.

Thank you for your help! Your donations gave someone like Djovany a second chance.

Thank you for supporting a child in need through Chances for Children! Haiti has the highest maternal death ratio in the western hemisphere, leaving many children orphaned within their first week of life. Chances for Children provides hope for children in Haiti through education, orphan care, and community development programs.

Erlande and her mother needed our help. Due to chronic illness, this mother was not able to breastfeed ­- she wanted to keep her child at home but she did not know how she would be able to do this without endangering her child. We are now providing weekly donations of formula and this mother and her little girl are very happy. Thank you!

Kevins was brought to us by his maternal aunt. He is fighting for his life, as his birthmother died in childbirth due to severe asthma. Kevins is also having trouble breathing and is not able to keep formula down. We have started him on a version of Medika Mamba for infants.

Thank you for coming together to support Chances for Children. Meet Kerwens – his life in Haiti started off very rough, but today, thanks to your generosity he is on his way to renewed health. He was found abandoned in a river bed and was about two months old when he was brought to us. His system was infested with worms, but thanks to the care of our nurses, he has been treated and his system is now ready to start the Medika Mamba program.

Thank you all for supporting Chances for Children, either by donating directly to this amazing organization or by making a purchase at the Zaarly Bazaar in Seattle, where five percent of all purchases made at the Winter event were given to one of SeeYourImpact’s charity partners.

This is little Enna. She is three months old and sadly, due to high maternal mortality rates, she is all alone. Her mother died within a week after delivering her baby and Enna was brought to us by her grandmother, who suffers from seizures and can not take care of a newborn. Enna was very sick when we admitted her due to lack of care during the first month of her life. Thanks to donations like yours, she is now on a steady diet of high protein formula and she is growing and doing very well. Thank you so much for your generosity to help us take care of children like Enna.

We can’t wait to see the difference your contributions will make for this little boy. Thank you!

This sweet little baby was born just a few months ago and her birthmother died from complications in childbirth. Unfortunately, this is a common fact in an impoverished country like Haiti where there is very little health or medical care for mothers. Enna was brought to us by her father, who has no way to feed her as he does not have living relatives in the near area and no income to provide her with formula.

Thanks to your donation, Manish and Florin, Enna is now in the care of Chances for Children and will receive a month of baby formula. This is her second week with us and she is responding well. Thank you for supporting baby Enna and Chances for Children!

Thank you very much for your generosity – this birthday was especially significant and I feel very blessed by the love and support of each of you. Many thanks for making my birthday dreams come true!

Blessings, Kathi

Clifford has been on the Medika Mamba program at Chances for Children (C4C) for over three months now and is making significant improvements. Thank you for helping him get healthy! He has gained eight pounds, has increased muscle tone, and is alert and able to function at a level very close to his actual age. He was recently tested by an occupational therapist that gave him glowing reviews.

Thank you for your donation, Kumar, Ling-Cheung, and Terri. Your generous contributions made a difference in Clifford’s life by covering the cost of six months of medika mamba.

Patterson just graduated from formula to his first meal of oatmeal, and this is thanks to your donation to support him during the first 10 months of care.

Chances for Children  provides hope to children in Haiti through education, orphan care, and community development programs. We now have 10 babies under our care and that means we go thorugh a LOT of baby formula every week. Patterson has been on formula since he came into our orphanage over five months ago. He was brought to us by his mother — she had this baby out of wedlock and her new fiance does not want him. She has asked us to care for Patterson and find an adoptive family for him.

Thank you for your donation Miten, Travis, Nabeelah, Venkat, Krista, and Holly! Your generosity ensures Patterson and other Haitian children will grow up healthy and strong.
