MISSION OF TRUTH

Programs

1. Mission of Truth employs two psychologists who deliver trauma therapy to children residing in the four orphanages served by moto weekly. Children living in hatian orphanages grapple with daily adversities and traumas that significantly impact their future. Without therapy and moto services, these children are susceptible to severe outcomes such as suicide, homelessness, prostitution, criminal activity, enslavement as restaveks, gang affiliation, and exploitation through commercial or sexual trafficking. Our psychologists devise a weekly curriculum to address the childrens specific circumstances and equip them with coping mechanisms and tools to manage and overcome their traumas. Each weekday, moto psychologists visit a different orphanage, engaging with the children for approximately three or more hours per day, typically in the afternoon once they return from school. These visits comprise a two-hour session conducted in a large group setting, followed by an additional hour dedicated to individual counseling, focusing on different children each week. At the end of the week, moto psychologists generate a comprehensive report outlining their activities at each orphanage, including…

2. The average haitian typically consumes only one meal per day. Children supported by moto often experience food scarcity and lack essential animal protein crucial for growth, development, and cognitive function. Children cannot learn when they are hungry. Each day that moto psychologists visit an orphanage, they bring food, spices, and cooking essentials, like oil and charcoal with them. They bring enough food and supplies for a meal that evening and a few additional meals throughout the week. While onsite, moto staff oversee the food preparation and distribution to ensure each child is fed. Each meal consists of locally sourced animal protein, such as chicken or goat, seasonal vegetables, rice and beans. Moto collaborates with local farmers and ngos to procure these povisions. Moreover, moto offers food assistance to young adults tansitioning out of orphan care and pursuing further education at a college or vocational school.

3. Mission of Truth employs one nurse and a nurse assistant. The nurse visits two orphanages one week and the other two the following week. Each week, the nurse performs a basic checkup for each child, taking their temperature, measuring height and weight, and assessing their bodies for any signs of skin irritations or rashes. First aid or basic medicines are dispensed as needed. All information is recorded and filed with the assistance of the nurse assistant. This facilitates the comparison of growth development month over month, and year over year for each child and aids in determining necessary protocol changes for malnourished or sick children. Children with concerning or critical issues or ailments are taken to the local clinic or hospital by the moto nurse and staff. All hospital visits are recorded internally. When a child requires an overnight stay in the hospital, the moto nurse accompanies the child to ensure they are not alone and are with someone they know and trust. Serious dental issues are promptly addressed. When a child experiences teeth or gum pain, moto schedules an evaluation with the dentist and ensures the resolution of the issue. When feasible, dental mission…
