Orphanages

"They showed kindness and compassion to widows, orphans, childless people, and those who were disabled by disease, so that they were all sufficiently maintained."  Confucianism

Planting Peace Children’s Homes

In 2004, Planting Peace began its efforts to help the 150 million homeless children worldwide. Our first project was a small children's home in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. Since then, we have opened six more children's homes worldwide with additional homes scheduled to open every six months.

Unfortunately, the number of orphaned children worldwide is on the rise. Parents dying from AIDS, malnutrition, malaria, tuberculosis--with governments offering little or no social services--contribute to reasons why most children are forced onto the streets. Once on the streets, children are exposed to physical and sexual abuse, drugs and even slavery. In Haiti alone, it is estimated that 300,000 children are child slaves, and each year another 30,000 children are sent to its neighboring country, the Dominican Republic, to support the sex trade industry.
