On a warm day in Haiti, 18-month-old Aliana dances in the courtyard of her orphanage, tossing her doll in the air as if she’s putting on a show. She swings back and forth, swaying to the music being sung by other children.
“She’s so happy and thriving,” says Julie Joseph, founder of Redeemer’s House Orphanage. “We are so thankful she’s healthy because her life could have turned out very differently.”
Aliana almost didn"t live past her first birthday. Not being able to provide for her in the chaotic and dangerous streets of Port-au-Prince, Aliana’s mother dropped her off at Redeemer’s House Orphanage.
“She weighed only eight pounds and was so malnourished, I didn’t think she was going to make it,” says Joseph. “Convoy of Hope and its partners provided the formula that helped nurse her back to health.”

Aliana is one of more than 100,000 children now enrolled in Convoy of Hope’s children’s feeding initiatives. The more than 54,000 children being fed in Haiti will now get their meals from Convoy of Hope’s new 36,000 square foot Haiti warehouse. Following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Convoy of Hope moved quickly to build the warehouse that can now store up to six million meals.
After the earthquake, Hal Donaldson, president of Convoy of Hope set the goal to feed 100,000 children in seven countries. “We’ve been able to reach that goal in just two years thanks, in part, to our partners and supporters,” says Donaldson.
