Getting Involved

 To get involved with our mission, please contact Dave at dave@helpinghandsforhaiti.com

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. This new school will help keep hope alive for this small community.  We continue to support many children who's family is unable to afford their child's education expense thru our scholarship program ($25.00 per month or $300.00 per year per child). This program helps us pay for the teachers, provide school lunch, books, shoes, and uniforms.

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. In 2007 we purchased a rice mill to generate income for the school. In 2008 we will complete the purchase of land next to the school. Our first goal will be for community gardens on this land. We have many dreams for the future uses of this land. Please pray with us for Gods guidance.

 We will also conduct Bible School for children, share in Bible Study with adults,  provide solar ovens, develop incoming generating skills and many other projects while in the village. But most important is spending time with and loving them!!

We have been blessed to have several doctors traveling as part of the team to Haiti. Their time is spent providing much needed care at the Hospital Albert Schweitzer in a nearby community.

There are three main ways YOU can become involved: 

  • PRAY -- Pray for the teams efforts and all the people of Haiti
  • GO -- Consider joining a team in the future
  • DONATE --  Anything you can share is important. Every dollar we are able to collect directly impacts the people of Haiti in a very positive way. Please prayerfully consider a financial commitment to our efforts.
