Fondation pour les Enfants d'Haiti (FEH) is a non-profit organization established in Haiti in 1989 to continue the work begun earlier in the 1980's under the name of Caribbean View Home for Children.  FEH is managed and directed by Haitians, under the leadership of Gladys Thomas, and the people who know best the needs of the children of their country and how to work within that country.  It's US Board of Directors is comprised of volunteers dedicated to serving children through FEH.

The Foundation’s commitment and effectiveness is rooted in the fact that it is a Haitian organization.  FCH was established by a Haitian woman, and has always been operated by Haitians.  The staff is experienced and capable.  They understand and respect Haitian people and culture.  And, since Haiti is their home, they are committed to the long term development of the country.

The Foundation for the Children of Haiti employs 236 Haitians in its various programs.  In a country where the unemployment rate is around 70 - 80%, secure and steady jobs are almost impossible to find.  Some of the FEH staff come from backgrounds of poverty, and many would otherwise be unemployed.  Providing 236 families with the means to support themselves, while changing the lives of those they care for, is a very significant aspect of FEH's work.
