The CNP is a non-denominational, faith-based organization. Our mission is to improve the heath and development of Haitian children, particularly those suffering from malnutrition, who can in turn raise Haiti from poverty.

The CNP works to achieve this mission, in partnership with our Haitian brothers and sisters by:

• Empowering mothers and other caregivers through community-based health and nutrition education using locally available resources and employing Haitian supervisors
  
• Providing direct health care, including therapeutic rehabilitation for severely malnourished children, mobile medical clinics, and community treatment of pneumonia and rheumatic fever
  
• Supporting health-related community development programs, such as increasing access to safe water to prevent diarrhea and other water borne illnesses
• Facilitating the participation of poor families in proven Haitian microcredit programs

The CNP was founded by Dr. Mitch Mutter, a cardiologist from Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1998 after repeated medical mission trips to Haiti throughout the 1980's and 1990's. The CNP was incorporated as a 501c3 non profit organization in 2004. The CNP is also registered as a Private Voluntary Organization (PVO) with USAID.

The CNP works in partnership with Holy Cross Hospital, run by the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti, in Leogane, Haiti, 18 miles outside the capital, Port au Prince.
