The Chanje Movement is bringing a hope and a future to the children of Haiti through community transformation and revival.
Our Mission
Our Vision
We are building into a new generation of young women and men who will pray boldly, lead courageously and love compassionately as they face the challenges of a nation needing self-reliance, self-determination, integrity and interdependence.
Our Story
In January 2010, a devastating earthquake rocked Port au Prince, Haiti, causing the deaths of more than 250,000, the permanent displacement of more than one million, and total social, economic and political disruption.
The Global Mission, a Christian missions organization in Orange County, CA, joined hundreds of other charitable organizations and churches by sending teams to Haiti to help meet the physical and spiritual needs of the people. What started as a series of short-term mission trips quickly turned into long-term relationships with Haitians who had the skill and desire to change their community but lacked the resources.
Out of these relationships, Chanje Movement was born. We are a partnership of Haitians and Americans, a network of charitable partnerships, and members of a community that believes Haitians are the Heroes and seeks to equip, inspire and empower them to radically change their future. We do this through micro loans, food distribution, medical clinics and community outreach. We support families by providing resources so that they can feed their children and send them to school without having to be separated. For those children who do not have families, we run a shelter that provides them with a safe environment where they can learn, play and grow.
Today, our commitment to Haiti remains the same as it was in 2010. Though many have given up on Haiti, we will not. We remain hopeful that Haitians can change themselves, their communities and their world.
