Unlike most charities, 100% of your donation will fund programs directly benefiting the children of Christel House, and will not be used for administrative overhead.
When Founder Christel DeHaan started Christel House, she brought to the organization years of international business experience and a passion to make the world a better place. The result is a charity that has earned a Four Star designation (the highest possible) from the charity industry watchdog, Charity Navigator, for two consecutive years.
"Charity Navigator salutes your charitable efforts. Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates Christel House International excels, as compared to other charities in America, in successfully managing the finances of your organization in an efficient and effective manner. This rating is an exceptional feat, especially given the economic challenges many charities have had to face in the last year."
-Emily Navarro,
Program Analyst, Charity Navigator
Charity Navigator, America's premier independent charity evaluator, works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of over 5,300 of America's largest charities.
"Christel House focuses on lasting transformation, not temporary sustenance. It is the difference between giving a man a fish for a meal today and teaching him to fish to provide for himself and his family in the future."
-- Christel DeHaan, Founder, Christel House International
