ABOUT US
Caring for Haitian Orphans with AIDS, or CHOAIDS, is a nonprofit founded by Marie Denis-Luque. On her quest to discover a research site in Haiti for her studies in public health, she met a young girl at Grace Children's Hospital. After hearing the girls story, Marie's heart was moved. Five months later, CHOAIDS was born in December of 2003.
Nineteen years and counting, there are now over thirty children who call CHOAIDS home.
