Your Donations Make a Difference in the Life of the Most Vulnerable Haitians

Your continued donations make an immense difference in the life of the most vulnerable Haitians amid the COVID-19 epidemic.

Lutheran Church Charities sends emergency funds to Haiti through our Haiti Mission Partners who use them towards critical items needed to help save and improve lives of the people of Haiti, such as food and hygiene supplies.

Please prayerfully consider making a monetary donation to enable Lutheran Church Charities to continue to send emergency funds to Haiti during the current humanitarian and health crises.

Goat cooperatives and agriculture

Field Director Lophane Laurent is working with farmers and gardeners, and developing goat cooperatives in villages so people can feed themselves. Each cooperative is about six families and 20 goats. Training, goats, supplies for pens, mentoring, seed, and farming tools are provided. Our Haitian brothers and sisters provide the land, labor, and food for the animals. Goats cost $75. Goat pens for 20 goats are $1,000. Farming tools vary in cost from $20-$50.

Beds for the elderly

Most people in rural Haiti and many in cities sleep on the floor which may be dirt or cement. Some people sleep on mats or palm branches. Many simply have a cloth or sheet to lay on. As people age they have more and more difficulty getting up off the floor in the morning, often waiting long periods for someone to come help them rise. An actual bed changes their quality of life immeasurably. A metal bed frame, mattress, and bedding cost $400.

Hygiene supplies

Hand washing stations are needed to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The supplies for each station are a 5-gallon water container with a spigot, three blocks of dry bleach, and a case of soap, with training on how to set up and maintain the station. Cost of each hand washing station is $30.

DONATE — HAITI - HYGIENE SUPPLIES

Helen Roenfeldt of Mission: Haiti thanks Lutheran Church Charities’ donors for continued financial support to help Haitian families, especially the elderly and children, during the current humanitarian and health crises.

Last week we provided food for 200 elderly and families, 200 masks, 4 beds for elderly who were sleeping on the ground or concrete floors, and supplied 20 hand washing stations and face instructions on their proper use.

We are so grateful for the generosity of the LCC donors. There are people who actually cry when our team brings food or a bed for someone who has slept on the floor all their lives. Thank you so very much.

Jackie Rychel of Ministry in Mission thanks Lutheran Church Charities’ donors for continued financial support to help Haitian families, especially the elderly and children, during the current humanitarian and health crises.

Feeding the elderly and children is becoming increasingly more difficult. Inflation is causing purchases of basic rice and beans to be unaffordable. Ministry in Mission supports four different sectors of Haitian society with daily and weekly meals. We are reaching neighborhood children, elderly in the community, children in an orphanage, and elders in the Jacmel Lutheran Home.

We thank you all very much for your continued financial support. It is very difficult without the fundraising platforms where people gather. We are also not able to send teams because COVID 19 is prevalent in both the United States and Haiti. Your donations help us save lives among the most vulnerable in Haiti.

We can feed a family of four for two weeks for $40. With school out, families are especially vulnerable right now.
