Aside from the devastation caused by the earthquake, the reality is that the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and The Dominican Republic) will be impacted by future hurricanes, cyclones and heavy rain.

In light of the earthquake that decimated Haiti on January 12^th, 2010, ICC is in the process of dealing with the numerous needs of displaced earthquake victims. Thousands of people are living in the 13 slums surrounding Grace Children's Hospital. These  “tent cities” are breathing grounds of sickness and disease, and ICC is responding to the medical needs of these people.

Due to the earthquake of January 12^th 2010, Grace Children’s Hospital sustained tremendous structural damages, leaving 90% of the facility’s structure severely compromised and unsafe to use. Currently, ICC is running all of its programs and services outdoors on the hospital grounds under tents and in open areas. ICC is embarking on a 2- year program, headed by the Relief and Reconstruction Office, to reconstruct Grace Children’s Hospital from the foundation up.

HIV/AIDS is the greatest health crisis our world faces today. In Haiti, more than 200,000 people are living with HIV/AIDS – that's 3.8% of the population. Since the mid 1990s, Grace Children´s Hospital has provided medical support and counseling to patients living with HIV.

In 2005, critical Anti-Retroviral (ARV) treatment services were also added, thanks to partnerships with the U.S.

We invite you to be transformed this year...

Take a trip to Haiti and/or the Dominican Republic and learn, first hand, about the power of God's love at work in the mission field. At International Child Care, we believe that the first step toward change is understanding, and we invite you to take that step as a member of a Mission Education Encounter Team (MEET). You will have the opportunity to play and interact with children recovering at Grace Children's Hospital, visit a community health clinic, or join a rehabilitation worker on a home visit in the Dominican Republic.

Empowering an entire community to care for the health of its children is powerful, effective and sustainable.

Grace Children’s Hospital, founded in 1967, is the flagship ministry of International Child Care. Grace Children’s Hospital is recognized as Haiti’s leading medical facility dedicated to the treatment of children with tuberculosis (TB). Each year, the hospital receives thousands of children who are suffering from TB, HIV and other diseases.

Children who are seriously ill are admitted to the sixty-bed inpatient ward, where they receive constant care from the hospital’s all-Haitian staff.

People with disabilities face challenges no matter where they live, but it is especially difficult to live with a disability in developing countries like the Dominican Republic.
