About Us

Eleanor Workman

     Founder and President of Christian Haitian Outreach, Inc., (CHO) is a missionary whose heart beats for a single purpose, to share Jesus with the poor people of Haiti and rescue abandoned babies in this impoverished island nation. She began in 1974 when she found infant twins on a garbage dump with their terminally ill mother, who had been evicted from her little hut because she could not pay the $3.00 per month for rent. The mother then signed her babies over to Eleanor Workman before she died, and the orphanage ministry was born.  Eleanor acquired land, built a building and her family grew rapidly.

     CHO's ministry came into being because Eleanor Workman, a choir director and active church worker with a successful job, heard the call to full-time missions work. She answered the call by laying aside her own ambitions and dedicating her life to serve needy children in Haiti. She has seen countless miracles of supply and intervention despite impossible circumstances. Her life and ministry inspire others to totally commit themselves to God and see His divine purposes fulfilled in their lives. 

The Church 

     CHO ministers to 125 pastors working in the mountain villages and remote areas of Haiti

The Orphanage

     There are currently 134 children at the orphanage.   As you can imagine there is always work to be done. We are in the planning phase of a renovation.

The  School

     The first school was started under a tree. Attendance grew as needy families learned their children would be fed. As attendance swelled, so did the needs for supplies and food.

The most important lesson taught is the power of prayer. The children are encouraged to accept Jesus as their Savior and trust Him daily for their needs.

.The Clinic

We have a public health nurse on site daily to see that the children's medical needs are met and  medical teams frequently to help with the needs of the community.
