La Limye Ministries

La Limye Ministries operates its primary mission in a very poor section of Arcahaie, Haiti, known as Guiton, which has almost no government services. Through Ellen Humerickhouse and the La Limye Board's efforts over the past 8 years, La Limye has raised funding to purchase land and build a secure complex with a building to house up to 15 girls, a water well and tower serving La Limye's residents and the local people in the village, a community pavilion which is used for various community outreach functions including teaching English classes and the gospel to local adults, bible classes for the village children and various other assemblies. in 2019, La Limye opened a special needs school to serve the needs of approximately 30-40 special needs children in the village, who are not allowed to attend local schools. La Limye provides 20-30 jobs in an impoverished community in desperate need of them. This has allowed multiple families to support their children who otherwise had no hope, and has also helped the community at large. In 2023, gang activity is impacting the mission?s ability to deliver many of the above services, but we continue to provide fresh water and limited food support to the village, and school tuition and transportation support when the schools are open. in April 2023, we temporarily moved our 10 resident orphan girls, our missionary Ellen Humerickhouse and two employees to Cap Haitien in the north of Haiti where conditions are safer, and we await security conditions in Arcahaie/Guiton to improve. We may establish a second mission in Cap Haitien to provide services to the local community if this temporary relocation becomes permanent.
