The world's poorest children are at highest risk of the world's most expensive injuries -- burns and amputations. These sudden, life-changing trauma injuries can happen in a second without warning but require a lifetime of support. The world has ample resources in the form of medical care, rehabilitation therapy, and psychosocial support for trauma survivors, but it is not getting to the children who need it most. HandReach is working to bring together the best hands in the world to promote healing, rehabilitation, and the full development of human potential among the world's poorest and most badly-injured children. HandReach works at three levels: 1) Individuals: We facilitate the sharing of best practices across countries and institutions by educating clinicians, therapists, parents, and healers of all kinds. We also work to bring acute, reconstructive, and psychosocial care to children who are in great need of surgery or rehabilitation therapy that their families cannot possibly afford. 2) Institutions: We facilitate international clinics, sponsor training, develop technological resources, and arrange for the donation of needed equipment and supplies so that institutions can maximize their ability to treat complex injuries and promote full rehabilitation for children, regardless of income. 3) Society: We advocate for the needs of the poor to promote greater access to medical care, education, safer products, building materials, and work practices, and a place in society that includes greater access and acceptance for people with physical differences. We are working to develop a free international database of best practices in pediatric burn care and orthopedic rehabilitation that allows doctors and therapists to consult across the world on cases. This online resource database will be readily translatable into any language and provide short, detailed videos that address various aspects of excellent burn and orthopedic care -- from skin grafting to splinting to prosthetics to psychological support for children and families. If a child is burned in China, for instance, her doctor can provide details about the case, consult live expert clinicians internationally, and be directed to easily downloadable videos in Chinese to share with staff and the patient's family. HandReach's work would then be to spread the word of this database and foster face-to-face contact between clinics worldwide. HandReach's dream is for there to be nowhere in the world a child can be injured that is out of reach of excellent medical care and psychosocial support.

We work closely with each community to develop a solution together. Through community relationship building, training, and long-term involvement, we want to fully maximize the investment of clean water in the community and bring out its full potential.

The mission work of the Kizito Family Haiti USA, Inc. is to provide financial and material assistance to Sister M. Paesie and her Kizito Famille religious community of six who live and work among the poorest of the poor in different parts of the Cite Soleil, Port au Prince, Haiti. This is the largest slum area of the Northern Hemisphere. The Kizito Famille was founded 2017 in Haiti. It was founded in order to provide safety, free education and shelter to the children living on the street and to bring the light of Jesus as requested by Jesus to Mother Teresa. The Kizito Famille community operates homes for children who had been on the streets and chose to leave the streets. The first homes were for boys because mostly boys are on the streets. And then we added homes for girls. Today we have six of these homes, four for boys and two for girls. Some of the children in the homes are orphaned, others are not. Most are not orphans but have left home either because of hunger, poverty, or because of being mistreated by their parents. We try to find their parents in order to reestablish family ties, reconcile the parents of the children, and offer the possibility to visit from time to time while remaining in our homes. Additionally, the Sisters created eight schools In these schools, varying ages of children who had never been to school are received and educated. A preschool was added in service to the younger children from our homes in 2022. In total about 1,510 children attend these free schools. In most cases, the school lunch is the only food most of these children will receive each day. Depending on financial resources amidst the Haitian unstable economy and food resources, there may not be meals available everyday in the schools. The Kizito Famille operate several activity centers for developing team soccer sports, recreation and craft activities. The idea is always to set up a place where children can be safe, protected and come to know Jesus. Future plans: • to address day to day food needs in the homes and schools • to secure each school property perimeters with block walls to create a barrier of protection from foot traffic often intending malicious activities • to expand the living quarters of the current convent home • to acquire another vehicle and motor bikes for transport
