Everyone has access to their services regardless of their ability to pay. Their extensive programs help the community at large to overcome the physical, psychosocial and environmental needs that arise from the difficult living conditions in Haiti.

Since 1992, this Non Governmental Organization (NGO) supports children in difficult circumstances (street children, domestic servants and orphans) by providing them with shelter, schooling, psychosocial support, health, and vocational training. In addition, CAD conducts training sessions for the group OCBS and those who live with HIV/AIDS in the North West Department of Haiti.
