$500 Provides a Year of School For a Haitian Child Living In a Tent City
Public and private education in Haiti costs money - there is NO free education. Our Lutheran schools also charge but are less expensive than the public schools.
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.

Food for Haitian School Children
COVID-19 and the need for online learning have another consequence. In the past, the children would receive a nutritious daily meal at school. With learning now being done online, those meals will no longer be provided. For many of the children, this is their one meal of the day, without it, they will go hungry.
Please consider sponsoring a child that they may have hope for their future and learn the wonders of the Lord!

Make Christmas Special for the Orphans in Haiti
Did you know children in Haiti do not own toys? There is so much need for the basic daily necessities like food and clothing that toys are out of the question. Even if a child has acquired a toy they would never take it out in public for fear of it being taken by a bigger kid.
The best gift you can provide for the orphaned children in Haiti is the gift of food, new clothes, and shoes. Please help us make Christmas special for the orphans we serve. It would be a great blessing for them to go to church Christmas morning in new clothes and shoes.

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.

Haiti Teacher Salaries
Help Pay 49 Haitian Teachers Who Depend On Donations to Feed Their Families
Most of the teachers are only making $100 for three months of teaching. With help from LCC donors, Haitian Lutheran Mission Project hopes to be able to increase their pay to $150 each quarter for the next school year as they cannot get by on what they now earn.

Water Filters
Access to clean, fresh water is a main concern in Haiti, where waterborne illnesses, such as typhoid, cholera, and chronic diarrhea, are the cause of more than half of the deaths in the country every year. With a family water filter, this risk for a family is eliminated. Cost of a water filter for a family is $45.

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 $1,500 and is an important tool that helps the pastors to minister to their members and spread the Gospel throughout Haiti.
