	About Us
	Evangelical Christian Humanitarian Outreach for Cuba () is a faith-based NGO with its headquarters in Florida, dedicated to strengthening the Cuban church and helping coordinate mission and social efforts from the United States in Cuba. It began as an organization dedicated to supporting the growth of the independent Christian church in Cuba in 1994, by supplying them with medical and humanitarian assistance.

In May 2004, then Secretary of State, Colin J. Powell identified

as one of three faith-based non-governmental institutions affecting change within Cuba in the Commission for Assistance for a Free Cuba report to the President. Mr. Powell recognized the ability of our Cuban network of traditional churches, house churches, and seminaries to reach people throughout Cuba from tiny rural villages to large urban areas.

	Since 2002, it has cooperated with different foundations and organizations in distributing humanitarian assistance and training manuals on carrying out social and human services, such as caring for the elderly, disabled, and malnourished children. It has also aided in reaching out to the most marginalized pockets of Cuba’s populations, including the families of those persecuted by the communist regime for their beliefs and ideals; ministries work to ensure that the most basic goods are available to all in society, regardless of creed, to glorify and exemplify Our Lord Jesus in all we do.

	Currently, continues supporting the work of such outreach providers, and has intensified their works in promoting projects that equip leaders, promote knowledge, and disseminates independent entrepreneurship on the island in order to transform entire communities.
