Who We Are
We are a faith based, humanitarian, non-profit organization focused on sustainable development strategies in Haiti and Uganda. We currently call San Diego, CA our stateside home.
What We Do
We exist to help TRANSFORM communities of poverty through TANGIBLE ACTS OF LOVE. We partner with indigenous leaders overseas who are already in the midst of doing good work within their own communities. We come alongside churches, schools and individuals, providing a platform to experience transformational development first hand through these global partnerships. We focus our development efforts on wholistic community care emphasizing food + water, health + hygiene, education, and employment.
Why We Do It
Our hearts ache by the suffering of the global poor. Modeled by the life of Jesus, we believe it is our responsibility to act in love to break these cycles and bridge the gap between the world’s wealth and the world’s poverty. Statistics often misrepresent realities and are of such startlingly large numbers that it is hard to understand how that plays out on a smaller, community-minded scale. Regardless, we choose to listen, learn and act.
At CHF, these statistics are only a start; a driving force and motivation to continue pouring out anything and everything we have for the disadvantaged people in this world.
