Forgotten Children of Haiti

Giving hope. Changing lives. Building a future.

Our Mission

Forgotten Children of Haiti (FCH) was founded in 1993 with a single, unwavering purpose: to provide relief, dignity, and opportunity to Haiti’s most vulnerable children. Through the generosity of private donors, FCH supports the lifesaving work of Father Rick Frechette, MD, C.P., a passionate priest and medical doctor who has dedicated his life to serving children in distress in Kenscoff and Pétion-Ville, Haiti.

From medical care to education, nutrition to job training, every dollar raised goes directly to changing lives—because no child should be forgotten.

A Legacy of Giving

The Esposito Family’s Commitment

Forgotten Children of Haiti is more than a nonprofit—it’s a deeply personal mission that started with Michael Esposito’s family over 30 years ago.

The Espositos have always believed that giving back is not just an act of kindness—it’s a responsibility. What began as a way to provide relief for children in need has grown into a powerful movement that continues to change lives daily.

Today, Michael and each of his businesses proudly contribute to FCH, ensuring that Haiti’s children receive the food, shelter, healthcare, and education they need to thrive. Their unwavering support has helped expand schools, sustain hospitals, and provide life-changing opportunities for thousands of children and families in Haiti.

Michael’s dedication is a testament to the impact one family, one business, one community can have when they commit to making a difference.

“When my family started Forgotten Children of Haiti, we simply wanted to help. Decades later, that mission is still at the heart of everything we do. These children deserve a future, and we won’t stop fighting for them.” – Michael Esposito

Who We Are

Forgotten Children of Haiti is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built by people who care—doctors, teachers, artists, and business leaders—who came together with one goal: to make sure no child in Haiti is left behind.

Through long-standing partnerships with Cantine Notre Dame du Perpétuel Secours, St. Helene Orphanage, and Hopital Père Damien, FCH supports:

  • Nutritious school meals – Because a hungry child cannot learn.
  • Safe shelter for orphaned children – A loving home for over 530 young boys and girls under 10.
  • Critical medical care – Treating children with tuberculosis, malnutrition, and other life-threatening conditions.

We’ve even flown children to the U.S. for life-saving surgeries and rehabilitation—because we believe every child deserves a chance.

But we can’t do it alone.
