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!

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.
