Karen Goodyear founded Children of Hope Haiti in 2002 to aid disadvantaged students and to build a new generation of Haitian leaders. The organization continues to support communities devastated further by the 2010 earthquake by sponsoring local schools, investing in wells for safe drinking water, and providing goats to families as sources of both sustenance and income.
