About Us

Haitian Orphans Wish was founded in 2003 by a small group of dedicated friends and volunteers with the goal of helping orphaned and abandoned children in Haiti. In order to achieve this goal, H.O.W organizes fundraising events and uses the proceeds of these activities to provide assistance too many disadvantaged children and youths in Haiti.

Our Story

From the humble beginnings of a tiny seed, a powerful tree has flourished, its roots deeply entwined with the community’s aspirations. H.O.W.’s inaugural fundraising event took place in the intimate confines of the Sacred Heart church auditorium nestled in Cambria Heights. Since that modest inception, H.O.W. has blossomed into a towering force within the Haitian diaspora, proudly standing as one of the most impactful non-profit organizations in the New York Tri-State Area.

As we celebrated our twentieth anniversary in September 2023, we are thankful for the support that fuels our mission to make a difference and eagerly look forward to the chapters yet to be written.

What We Achieve

Haitian Orphans Wish (H.O.W.) targets the urgent challenges Haitian orphans face, including hunger and homelessness. Our focus, however, is on the transformative power of education. Through our steadfast support of the SCEP vocational sewing school in Fontamara since 2016, we’ve helped hundreds of students secure a three-year degree, setting the stage for their future.

We’ve donated thousands of school uniforms, solar-powered lanterns, and fully stocked book bags to underprivileged institutions, empowering Haiti’s orphaned youth to overcome poverty and fulfill their dreams.
