About this facility

Mission

from Blog: Welcome to FRADES, a non-profit NGO located in Haiti. Prior to the 2010 earthquake, FRADES had been primarily a community aid cooperative managed by Haitians for Haitians in the town of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti. It was established to serve the community by providing small loans to community members. The return on those loans was to help develop shared community resources and raise local awareness of health and hygiene issues as well as other social issues. After the 2010 earthquake, FRADES members found themselves taking in many children whose parents had just died. The number of orphaned children living at the FRADES house fluctuates when new children arrive, and when children depart if surviving relatives are found. Other children from the community come to stay and have meals during the day. In French, "FRADES" stands for "Aid Fund for Social and Economic Development Resources." We are a group of Americans working to raise support and awareness for FRADES. The needs of the children are many. They currently lack nutritious food sources and adequate funding for their medical and living needs.
