Who we are
Founded in 2008 by Sarah Wallace, Olive Tree Projects was created to serve and save the children of Haiti. Although orphanages and schools are typically recognized as children based programs, OTP has also recognized the effect maternal care can have on a child’s life.
1 in every 44 Haitian women will die because of preventable problems related to pregnancy.
When that woman dies, her children are twice as likely to die the next year.
"1 in every 44 Haitian women will die because of preventable problems related to pregnancy."
One of our first projects is to open a maternity center that will aim to serve a community of 12,000 people. We believe that by providing complete prenatal care we can reduce maternal mortality in our community and help keep children with their families.
