“Saving Haiti one village at a time.” We are helping the village of Boileau, Haiti become self-sustaining. We help them help themselves through education, micro-credit, agriculture training, medicine, and wells for clean water. We are a grassroots organization guided by Matthew 25:40, “Whatsoever you did to these, the least of my brothers and sisters, you did to me.” We share a commitment to help the poorest of the poor and we invite others to join us. Please take a few minutes to read about what we’re doing and look at a few pictures. We’re working to improve the organization of this website, but don’t let our flaws interfere with learning about how the villagers in Haiti need our help. If you want more information or want to help, see our Contact tab. Thanks for taking some time to get to know more about people in Haiti.

How a trip to Haiti opens your eyes to see extreme poverty and hopeless existence

You visit orphanages, clinics, housing projects, schools and soup kitchens.  It’s good to see some people getting help because you’ll also see a sampling of the hundreds of thousands who receive no help. You see adults working like oxen, pulling large carts loaded with heavy material, and you’re told they probably earn just a few dollars, enough to provide a little food for their families for one more day.  read more »
