Through the establishment of a strong educational foundation our goal is to provide broader assistance; including basic health initiatives, empowerment programs and partnering with others to bring about permanent change and renewed hope to the lives we touch.
OUR MISSION
Helping Hands Bring Sunshine (HHBS) is an established 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization originally established to provide immediate relief to communities in need throughout Haiti, resulting from the devastation of the hurricane and earthquake in 2008 and 2010. Five years later, our efforts are focused around Croix de Bouquets, dedicated to improving the standards of living for this impoverished community through the establishment of strong educational foundation with the goal of providing broader assistance, including basic health initiatives, offering empowerment programs and partnering with others to bring about permanent change and renewed hope to the lives we touch.
