Impact Across the Sea to Haiti

Family, community & gratitude - this is what we all focus on during the holiday season. 

We prepare for gatherings with loved ones, prepare the meals, travel to different homes, and provide gifts, especially for the little ones. 

The Holiday season in the U.S. is much different than celebrating the holidays in Haiti. Often families in rural areas like Sonyen, are not able to purchase food for their families day by day and are often not able to purchase gifts for their kids during the holidays. However, they do host small gatherings with loved ones and wear their best clothes to enjoy food together, a break from work in the fields or local open-air markets.

In Port-au-Prince you can hear celebrations throughout the city with loud music and sounds of chatter along the streets. You’ll find businesses and restaurants open during late hours and families enjoying their time outside of their homes. Some parents have been saving for the majority of the year to give gifts to their children and other parents are determining if they have the ability to buy gifts this year. 

This holiday season, we’re asking you to make youth and families in Haiti part of your family by supporting our beneficiaries with a contribution. 

Your contribution guarantees families will still receive food every other Sunday in Port-au-Prince to provide for their loved ones. It ensures we can continue to sponsor the education of 14 youth and sponsor even more youth in 2022. It provides access to clean water in rural Haiti by allowing us to bring the recently purchased water filters to the community, Sonyen and supply more filters to support more families. 

Think of how you can make an impact by shedding some light from the States all the way to Haiti to provide a better outlook in the midst of recent and recurring events in Haiti including kidnapping, political turmoil and the recent earthquake. 

Your contribution is needed and appreciated. 

Families and youth in Haiti thank you for thinking of them during the Holiday Season.
