  founded in 2001.

  cares for disadvantaged young people, including
  former child slaves, street children, and the
  severely disabled.

  the facilities we support, but we have rebuilt
  one and have grown our programming.
• We are still fundraising every day to keep the
  mission alive and to rebuild Wings of Hope, our
  home for the disabled.
• HWH has a hardworking Board of Trustees and one
  staff member in the US, Geoffrey Hamlyn,
  Executive Director. There are around 80 staff
  that work for our ministry in Haiti.

How You Can Help
