The Haitians realize that the best way for their children to have a chance is to give them an education. That’s why the Helping Hands for Haiti team is committed to the education of the Haitian children. In 2006 the construction of the new 6 room school in Jumelle was completed. In 2011 we were able to complete our next school/church building in LePina. These new structures will help keep hope alive for these small communities and its children. Helping Hands for Haiti is also starting to work in other communities. Our progress is dependent on funding
Community development is another area the team focuses on. We believe in the community becoming self sufficient in supporting their school and families. We work with community leaders to develop programs best suited for them. We purchased a rice mill to generate income for the school in Jumelle. The mill is now generating enough income to support the school. Since then we have added a composting latrine and a clean water well. The school/church council in Lepina is currently working on a business plan for a business to help fund their school operations. We are excited for what the future holds for them.
We will also conduct Bible School for children, share in Bible Study with adults, develop incoming generating skills and many other projects while in the villages. But most important is spending time with and loving them!!
Please consider becoming partners with us as we have hopes to expand our reach in the Artibonite Valley.
