Better Future International currently has projects working in four nations: Haiti, Tanzania, the Dominican Republic, and Sri Lanka. To view more information about these projects please click on their individual links.
HAITI
Better Future Haiti currently operates a successful small orphan home in the town of Cyvadier, outside of Jacmel. Since 2005, the home has sheltered 11 children who were orphaned in the floods caused by Hurricane Jeanne in 2004. The family care program opened in February 2010 to provide immediate relief and assistance (food and after school classes) to an additional 49 needy children and the 30 families who cared for them in the wake of the terrible earthquake (January 2010) and subsequent after shocks. In our current program there are 36 children and 23 families in the family care program or a total of 47 children including the 11 in home-care.
TANZANIA
The Salama Center, Better Future´s family care program in Tanzania, opened in January 2009 and currently serves 26 orphaned children and their households - approximately 145 people. This community center is based in Majengo Village in the Moshi region of Tanzania and maintains family structure for the orphaned children.
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
The Casa Ana Center, Better Future International's family care program in Azua, Dominican Republic, opened up its doors in July 2009. During the summer it served the needs of 25 orphaned children ages 6-16 and their families. Eventually one hundred children will benefit from the after school program throughout the year. Casa Ana will serve as a family care center that will provide assistance and support to the children´s caretakers by maintaining family structures through our Family Care Model. The model applies the concept of kinship care while supporting extended family members´s ability to provide care for orphaned children.
