New Grant Strengthens Vital Ministries in Haiti

New Grant Strengthens Vital Ministries in Haiti

For six decades, Sky Ranch Foundation has supported programs serving at-risk youth. The Foundation believes that “People never stand so tall as when they stoop to help a child.” It seeks organizations with quality programs that deliver care to girls and boys in need.

For four decades, Outreach to Haiti has served the people of Port-au-Prince through essential healthcare, nutrition, and education programs. The health and well-being of babies, children, and young people remain the primary focus of this mission.

Haitians continue to face the daily challenges of severe poverty, food insecurity, and lack of opportunity, compounded by widespread gang violence throughout the city. With 1.5 million people displaced and 5 million wondering each day whether they will have enough to eat, children and young people remain especially vulnerable.

“These are tough times for everyone in this field. We believe there is enough care, concern and generosity that we will be able to continue making an important difference.”
— Ralph Aguera, President, Sky Ranch Foundation

This new collaboration comes at a much-needed time. The youth of Haiti look for hope, opportunity, and the chance to attend school and build a better future through their hard work and perseverance.

Outreach to Haiti is deeply grateful to Sky Ranch Foundation for helping make a difference in the lives of young people in Port-au-Prince. This partnership reflects the trust, generosity, and shared commitment that make this life-changing work possible.
