Zanmi Beni Foundation Canada
Established to support the 64 orphaned, disabled and vulnerable children who call Zanmi Beni home.
“Zanmi Beni Children’s Home rose from the ashes of the earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2010. Envisioned as a refuge for some of Haiti’s most vulnerable children, it has become a haven for them, for their caregivers, and for our many friends and partners who are part of the ZB family.”
– Ophelia Dahl | Executive Director, Partners In Health

Zanmi Beni’s Monthly Giving Program
”In Haiti,
1 in 4
children
under the age of 18 are considered orphans or "vulnerable."
As a result, roughly
28,000
kids
are separated from their families.
“— They are housed in
760
orphanages
across Haiti.
“If you want to live the fullness of life then you must love God and your neighbor. In other words, love God and “Zanmi Beni.” You like how I took a noun and made it a verb? Here is a question we should ask ourselves each night before we go to bed: Did I Zanmi Beni today?”

Zanmi Beni Education Centre
This is a devastating time for the children of Zanmi Beni. They have been unable to leave the campus for over a year, some of their beloved caregivers have contracted COVID-19, they are fearful about the virus and are sad because they miss the frequent visitors to campus and leaving to go out into the world for school and outside activities.
The staff has valiantly tried to keep up with their schoolwork but it is very difficult. Many of the children struggle with academic issues and without experienced teachers or classrooms and supplies, we are very concerned that the children are falling even more behind.
They desperately need a dedicated learning center on the campus, and they need it now.
Zanmi Beni Soccer Stars
A number of the children have been selected to train and play soccer competitively, including Dieuverson, Steff, Ogeline, Stephane, Michaelle James and Peterson. 10 year old Michelle has been invited to train with Haiti’s national women’s soccer program.
