Dinner Event
Our dinner event is back...Fete for Haiti - November 4th at 6:00pm
Success Stories
Father's new Toyota Land Cruiser was recently delivered and will allow him to travel the mountain roads with people and supplies to minister to
the 10 chapels in his parish. The truck was purchased with funds raised at the fall dinner event in 2016 with a lot of help from Adveniat,
an agency of the Catholic Church in Germany that assists the Latin American Churches.
Current Project
Our project to provide clean, potable water to several areas of Côtes-de-Fer was completed on July 22, 2016. The picture above shows the
completed distribution station in the village. Thank you to the many donors and our partners "World Water Relief" for making this important
project a reality. We are now investigating our second clean water project to be located in the mountain village of Metayer where epidemics
of Cholera frequently occur especially during the rainy season. Please help us fund this project.
