COST OF RUNNING GOH MONTHLY
Our Monthly Operating Cost
Our primary focus is mainly on children who are orphaned, abused, abandoned and whose parents are simply too poor to care for them. With the Grace of God, we have been able to absorb the cost of their education, meals, and clothing of every child under out care.
Breakdown of the Operating Costs
The monthly cost for feeding one child (2meals a day, 5 days a week) is $30 per child. The complete breakdown of the other expenses GOH absorbs for the kids as well as other expenses that GOH incurs while operating the charity can be seen below.
(Please refer to the expense table as seen on the Childcare page)
The living space was donated by the caring individuals who, along with other friends and relatives, continue to support the children as much as they can.

Volunteering for a Better Haiti
We operate on a modest budget and we strive to keep our operating cost low. The majority of our staff in Haiti are local volunteers. We also have four paid local qualified individuals who chose to work for low wages. Their commitment shows their unrelenting patriotism and the drive to support their communities, the youth, education and an opportunity them to give a helping hand and hope in rebuilding Haiti.
As noted above, rental cost is not included in the details cost breakdown, as the living space was donated by the caring individuals with a few of relatives and friends pitching in to support the children. We are blessed to be able to do so much and yet operate on an extremely moderate budget. Truly, we could not have done this without your prayers, generous contributions, gifts and time. Our mission will go on because of your support and the incredible dedication of individuals in the community who volunteer for free.
All donations (monetary or tangible items) are channeled directly to our operations. Every dollar you contribute is tax deductible. Please help us create an environment that may lift Haiti out of poverty in the future.
