to Haiti’s children this holiday season.
Give a child an unforgettable experience at Santa’s Wonderland.
Offering your time and hand is one of the greatest, invaluable gifts you can offer to the needy children of Haiti. SAS is grateful to have you as an additional member of our family. We appreciates that you are by our side in the ever-increasing fight in giving these kids a better chance at life. Take action by volunteering in the following missions:
Sow a Seed is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-based rganization that works with struggling orphanages in Haiti, assisting them with food, shelter, education and healthcare. Founded and managed by a team of young Haitian-American professionals, Sow a Seed has been operating since 2004 with the financial support of leading foundations and corporations. The organization also benefits from individual donations.
While careful to maintain its independence and its basic principles of honesty, integrity, humanity and dedication, Sow a Seed works in collaboration and in partnership with other local and international organizations, volunteer groups, private sponsors, public institutions that share its mission to embed seeds of hope into the lives of the most vulnerable children of Haiti.
Throughout the fall, Sow a Seed launches the Spread the Joy Challenge, an annual drive raising funds for underserved orphanages and children in Haiti. To provide them with a funfilled season this year, Sow a Seed is hosting Santa’s Wonderland and needs your help to make their holidays more cheerful.
This full-day event will benefit over 500 children from Cite Soleil’s La Reference Village and various orphanages throughout Port-au-Prince including:
