Wislande – A Legacy of Service & Hope

Empowering Deaf Children Through Sponsorship: Wislande’s Inspiring Journey

At Deaf Child Hope International, our mission is to provide help and hope to Deaf children living in poverty around the world. Seeing a Deaf child receive an education, come to know Christ, and grow in their faith and abilities drives us to continue this important work. When a sponsored child graduates and chooses to give back to their community, it is a true blessing and testament to the impact of Deaf child sponsorship.

The Inspiring Story of Wislande

Wislande was one of the first children enrolled in the Deaf Child Hope sponsorship program. She attended a school for the Deaf in Haiti and began receiving sponsor benefits in 2010. Thanks to her sponsors’ unwavering monthly support and prayers, as well as the dedication of our partners in Haiti, Wislande graduated and became an empowered member of the Haitian Deaf community.

We are overjoyed to share that Wislande is now giving back by leading a sewing program for Deaf children at the very school that nurtured her development.

“Wislande has the sewing program up and running. She is teaching the kids to make pillows — something rather basic but useful. I was pleased to watch Wislande adjust her teaching to the level of each student.”

Wislande’s commitment extended beyond teaching sewing skills. With new techniques she learned in the USA, she repaired and restored sewing machines, transforming the classroom with functional equipment and better lighting. Her resourcefulness and leadership have inspired everyone involved with Deaf Child Hope.

A Testament to Growth and Transformation

Lisa Van Sant, a Deaf Child Hope board member, shared her heartfelt memories of Wislande and the remarkable transformation she has witnessed:

“I first met Wislande in 2007. She was feisty, giggling, and sometimes a bit naughty — but what child isn’t, right? Over the years, I’ve seen such growth in Wislande. Her heart has softened, and she has become a beautiful young woman and a strong leader.”

From helping with classroom crafts to leading projects, Wislande’s journey exemplifies the profound impact of Deaf child sponsorship.

The Lifelong Impact of Sponsorship

Our mission goes beyond education — we aim to empower Deaf children to thrive and create lasting change in their communities. Stories like Wislande’s highlight the incredible outcomes that Deaf child sponsorship makes possible.

However, we cannot continue this mission without the support of generous sponsors and donors. By becoming a Deaf child sponsor, you can help transform lives, foster hope, and create more success stories.
