Let's Work Together to Send Food to Children in Haiti!

Life is difficult in Haiti. However the children in St. Louis d'Ayiti are attending school regularly even if food is scarce. Because of the political turmoil, food deliveries have not been consistent through the Port-au-Prince port so we have arranged to have food delivered through Cap Haitian in northern Haiti. We persist in getting them the food we packed! Would you consider helping us? Come and pack 50,000 meals for these children and/or consider making a donation!

Let me tell you a few things about St. Louis d'Ayiti:

  • Children in this mountain village are isolated from most of the countries violence.
  • They are attending school regularly while children in the urban areas are not attending school.
  • They are meeting in the school you have helped construct (second phase paused due to COVID and the countries unrest.)
  • Our meals are getting delivered through a safe port in Cap Haitian to the north.
  • We are supporting teacher salaries through your generous contributions.
  • We hope to provide financial resources so each child has the books they need to learn this year.
  • St. Louis d'Ayiti has a group of adults participating in an Adult Literacy Program.

Here's my plan:

I'm going to be at all four sessions of the North Shore Packathon for Haiti on October 18 and 19 to help pack 50,000 lunches for school children in St. Louis d'Ayiti.

I want to make sure they can count on lunch every weekday next school year, beginning January 1, 2025.

On average, every volunteer packs a box of 240 lunches.  Each box costs $89 and consists of rice, beans, vegetables, and vitamins, enough to feed one student for a year. I also want to help pay for school workbooks and teacher's salaries to keep the school open and thriving. We have approximately 200 students, 8 teachers and 2 cooks at the school. Will you help? Together, we really can make a difference! 

Donate Now to help me reach my goal of helping needy children in Haiti.
