Overture Outreach International

Empowerment Programs: Overtures social support model empowers Haitians of all ages at the individual, family and community levels toward independence and self-sufficiency. The model encourages community parternerships and supports locally-driven services that enable families to meet the basic needs of their children: education, nutrition, healthcare, empowerment programs and infrasturcture. During 2024: 200+ children received crisis care services; 75 foster families trained; 146 children reunified with biological or foster family; 339 family assessments completed by social workers.

They also include the development of social networks that strengthen families for independence or self-sufficiency. During 2024: 87 local jobs were contracted fro construction projects; 142 salaries were funded for Haitian workers; new homes and a dome community center were finalized; and the use of the Les Cayes campus was expanded for child protection programs in partnership with governing agencies such as IBESR and BPM.
