About Child Haven International:

Founded in 1985, Child Haven International (CHI) assists children and women in developing countries by providing them with food, education, health care, shelter, clothing, and emotional and moral support.

CHI primarily offers these services at one of its nine homes located in India (six), Bangladesh (one), Nepal (one), and Tibet (one). CHI distributed $754k in funding to CHI India in F2016, and $436k to CHI Nepal. As of June 2017, CHI reported serving a total of 732 children and 81 women for the year across all its homes.  In addition, CHI sponsored a women’s program in India that trains 50 women at a time in tailoring. Child Haven International also reports running literacy programs for women and children, who may or may not also be living in one of CHI’s homes.

Child Haven International formed the SoyaCow Support Group (SSG) in 1988, and with funding from CIDA in 1992, purchased six SoyaCow machines, which efficiently produce soya milk and other soya products for CHI homes.  SSG also developed a cottage industry for economically-disadvantaged women with these machines. CHI reports that there are now 400 SoyaCow machines in India and it is currently being promoted in Africa.
