Maria Zacharias Executive Director, Children's Hope TOGETHER, we are changing lives in Haiti You are making a global difference We have some exciting things to share with you. I want to jump right in and start telling you all the amazing things that have happened in 2022. I want to tell stories, show pictures and share numbers. I want you to be as excited as I am about all the big things and all the little things. But first, before we do any of that, I want to pause and say the most sincere thank you. I want to express my gratitude for all your continued support. You have given so much through your prayers, your partnership, finances and sacrifice. It has meant so much to the organization, and it has meant so much to me. But it's important to know that it has also meant so much to the children, the nannies, the teachers, the administrators, the doctors, the nurses, the pastors, their congregations, and the communities. Your continued support has been noticed and felt and has had a tremendous impact on so many lives in Haiti. For that, we are so thankful. We are excited to share this Impact Report with you. In the following pages, we're going to touch on some of the amazing things that are happening through the ministry of Children's Hope. We would love to give you all the details, believe me, they are worth sharing, but it's just not realistic so this is our summary, an overview of some of the things we saw in 2022. We're going to look at the work that continues in the children's home and explore what the transition process looks like for the older kids. We will look at the impact the clinic is having on the community. We will share with you the exciting things that are happening in the schools we support. We will talk about some of the other projects we have started, such as feeding programs for seniors, widows, and refugees. We will share about the Bible Training Center for Pastors and the amazing things happening in that. There are so many more stories to tell, but it is our hope that by hearing about some of these things, you will have a small glimpse into the impact that Children's Hope has been able to have in 2022. I have been blessed to be the Haiti Site Director for the past 9 years with Children's Hope. It has given me the opportunity to intimately know all the working parts of this amazing organization. This year I have been given a new position, to serve as the Executive Director. I'm humbled by the opportunity to serve in this capacity and am excited about what we are currently doing, and what Children's Hope will do in the future. I hope you find this report as remarkable as I do. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. If you have any comments, please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from you. Maria Zacharias Executive Director maria@childrens-hope.com
