About Child Haven
Child Haven International is an Ottawa-based, non-profit, Non-Governmental Organization that cares for formerly destitute women and children in India, Nepal, Tibet and Bangladesh.
Over 1050 destitute children and 144 destitute women are rescued from poverty and despair, and brought to the safety of one of the nine Child Haven homes, where they receive food, shelter, education, and love.
All this is accomplished by the dedication of the three founders, Bonnie and Fred Cappuccino, of Maxville, Ontario (recipients of the Order of Canada, and UNESCO's Teaching of Human Rights Award), and Dr. N.H.Shah of Cornwall, Ontario (recipient of the Order of Ontario).
Child Haven operates on a shoe-string budget, with only four paid employees in North America. The "Organization Headquarters" is the 100-year old farm house owned by Bonnie and Fred, where they raised their 21 children (19 adopted from all over the world).
