Haiti is a Carribbean nation lying in the middle of what is known as “Hurricane Alley.” Each year they are struck by multiple tropical storms and hurricanes. As a result, there is less food, more disease, decimated villages, and thousands of destroyed homes.
Through relief efforts, homes are rebuilt, food is distributed, and assistance is provided. Compassionate people from across the United States, and beyond, donate to help with relief efforts.
What is involved in Crisis Relief?
Rebuilding destroyed homes
Distributing food staples to hungry families, especially during the hurricane season
Assuring that our sponsored children receive special assistance in their time of need.
What is the process for rebuilding homes & distributing food supplies?
Funds are received from individuals, foundations, churches, and groups. These funds are sent to Haiti and are used to build new homes for the families of our sponsored children. The average cost of rebuilding a home is $1900.
We purchase basic food staples in Haiti, preferring to invest the donations directly into the local economies of the cities and villages.
Whenever possible, we use Haitian labor and assistance for these relief efforts.
