With the current political crisis raising the cost of food dramatically, Lutheran Church Charities is asking for your generous donations this Christmas to provide these children with basic food supplies. The holiday season is a time of joy and celebration for many, but for children in Haiti, it can be a time of hunger and uncertainty. With your help, we can make a difference by providing food for these children during the Christmas break. For just $65.00, you can provide a child and their family with a food package that will feed them during the Christmas break and prevent them from going hungry.

$500 Provides a Year of School For a Haitian Child Living In a Tent City

Last year the school year was interrupted by civil unrest in Haiti and then COVID-19. Our students will be returning to school this fall with online learning, beginning September 7. The cost of online learning has increased the tuition $10; now totaling $50 per month.

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.

Motorcycles
Because of the terrible condition of the roads, motorcycles are the most efficient means of transportation for many of the pastors who must travel many miles between the different churches that they serve and to get to their members. More motorcycles are desperately needed. A new motorcycle costs $1,900 and is an important tool that helps the pastors to minister to their members and spread the Gospel throughout Haiti.
