Protect the Children Future Corp

Protect the Children's Future (PCF) is a U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children in rural areas of Haiti. It was founded in 2011 by Harry Gray, an expatriate Haitian who grew up in the rural Haitian town of Miragoane. Harry was so moved by the plight of the boys and girls he encountered on frequent trips back to his native country that he decided to put a formal structure in place to maximize the impact he could have in making their lives healthier and happier and their futures brighter. Tragically, Harry passed away on June 11, 2020. But PCF will honor his vision and his memory by continuing to help Haitian children. 

While PCF’s work in Haiti has mainly involved providing scholarships and hosting summer sports and arts camps, Harry had a larger vision for the children he served: to build them a multipurpose recreation center. that would include classrooms, conference rooms, a cafeteria, gymnasiums, an Internet cafe, an indoor game area, and ball fields.

PCF plans to do just that. The center – which will be centrally located near Miragoane to serve children in the entire region – will cost upwards of $250,000 to build. We hope you will help by donating whatever you can. To do so, please contact us, click on the Donate button above, or visit protectthechildrensfuture.org to learn more.

Help Protect the Children’s Future (PCF) provide the 2019 Summer Arts and Sports Camp to three hundred (300) underprivileged children in rural Haiti. The Camp is to be held the second week of August in Petite Rivière de Nippes at no cost to youth ranging in age from 7-18.
A professional artist will provide daily instruction in different mediums to small groups of boys and girls. The sports activities will focus on soccer drills and techniques, and basketball, with emphasis on sportsmanship. Rising 12th graders from the Washington International School in Washington DC will travel to Haiti to share their knowledge and skills with the Haitian youth. PCF’s coaches and volunteers (both local and from the US) will work jointly for the successful realization of the camp.  Campers will be served a healthy meal each day.
Your support for the PCF Arts and Sports Summer Camp will provide these children with a platform to: (a) be creative, express their thoughts and emotions and use their intuition through works of art; (b) learn good art skills, discover and strengthen their talents; (c) promote communication among them; (d) decrease the likelihood for their participation in criminal and/or harmful activities; (e) build strong social bonds with their peers which, in the long term, may result in creating better communities; and (f) provide them with an opportunity to be involved in healthy and fun activities. Please help us in making this happen. Thank you in advance for your financial support. We need funding to finance the following:
